Ethylene carbonate to dimethyl carbonate - why not directly from methanol?

Shouldn't a direct synthesis from MeOH + Urea accomplish the same?

Significant heating is needed to drive the initial reaction and methanol would boil off. It can't be run under pressure because the ammonia needs to
be removed to push the equilibrium
