How to include source DATA in the object model #19

According to the GEDCOM 5.5.1 standard a source can have a subordinate DATA tag storing additional informations:

n @<XREF:SOUR>@ SOUR			{1:1}
+1 DATA					{0:1}
+2 EVEN <EVENTS_RECORDED>		{0:M}
+3 DATE <DATE_PERIOD>			{0:1}
+3 PLAC <SOURCE_JURISDICTION_PLACE>	{0:1}
+2 AGNC <RESPONSIBLE_AGENCY>		{0:1}
+2 <<NOTE_STRUCTURE>>			{0:M}
...

At the moment this DATA tag and its subordinates are not included in the object model.
I'd like to submit a pull request to fix.

I have created a SourceData class and a DataEvent class.
But now I have a doubt: in SourceData is it better to define a single DataEvent or a List<DataEvent>?

In the real world of GEDCOMs is there usually only one EVEN under DATA?
Or is it actually common to have multiple EVEN, in accordance to the standard?
