Just look at the existing info on event types at http://docs.model-glue.com/wiki/HowTos/HowToUseTypedEvents#HowToUseTypedEvents.
I can think of many cases where the majority of my events which are responsible for rendering output would need the "TemplatedEvent" type. By allowing me to specify that as the default event type I can avoid having to specify it on each event handler than needs it. The latest idea from Chris extends that even further, where one could group together event handlers that share a common type (or types), and then specify that type in the event-handlers block, and thereby avoid having to specify it on each event handler. It's not something that everyone would use (nor would they have to use it), but I definitely see value in it.
