I think the common use of conversational logic is at least
as often focused on temporality as on spatiality.  So it is
at least as important to have temporal (and nonspatial) events
as to have spatial events.  So yes, a "TemporalEvent" class
should be above a "SpatioTemporalEvent" class so we can
discuss causality without location.
