I also find it confusing. But I think there is a reason for these to be
called start/endEntity. It's because they really are called to notify
the beginning and end of the entity being referenced. From that point of
view it's not really incorrect. But it's still confusing and, for that
reason, I think I'd favor the change.
I'm not sure how Andy will feel about that though...
