Well, both libxml and emacs now support Relax NG, so I'm not sure how 
serious a limitation this is now.

Yes.  MODS has a location element, with type attributes for "physical" 
and "electronic."  In RISX, you represent this example like:

- part = conference article
- publication = conference proceedings

In MODS, it is:

conference article
relatedItem "host" = conference proceedings

The location element can go in either level in MODS.

I'm not sure exactly what he's wanting here.  Maybe an example would 
help?

MODS does have a "place" element that might do this.
