Right. (Not my preference necessarily, but a rational person's.) The facts in question include past actions, which can form the basis of regrets. The value of an event can depend on its historical context - that doesn't seem unreasonable.
Would we be able to write the outcomes as full histories?
I don't see why not. However, I haven't seen many (any?) decision theory treatments that do so.
