No, not even SAP :-)
Documentation is not available in Norwegian, English or German (also known as 
the three big languages ;-)

If the event is created in the same LUW as the database save, and your 
workflow immediately tries to access the object, wouldn't you run into some 
problems?

I suppose it would also cause terminated updates when the events can't be 
delivered (which you may want or may not want to happen).

Now that is a good question. The DB field is not referenced in any program, 
the view fields appear to only be referenced in the maintenance view 
programs.
