And what about metadata for events online (IRC sessions, etc) that _are_
the event, rather than being a digital surrogate for an event outside of
"cyberspace"? Maybe event needs someway to clear distinguish between
actual, online events and surrogates for events (web pages for
face-to-face conferences for example)? Or maybe this is getting a bit to
nit picky for DC? DC is supposed to be the common demoniator format after
all, not a replacement for USMARC... :-)
