Since the answers you've already received were quite thorough, I will only
comment on the above question you asked.  IMO, whatever morphological or
morpho-syntactic solution you finally decide upon, it should extend to
EVERY verb that can describe a state, act, or event, translatable as "X-ing
is occurring" or "There's X(-ing) going on."

I would even consider using something other than Voice as the meta-category
it fits into, because it can be extended to other voices themselves, e.g.,
passive voice as in "Having been X'ed is occurring" or "There's being-X-d
going on."
