I agree with you.

MODS has a place element.  The problem is it has no attribute to 
distinguish a publisher place from an event place.  So, you could code 
the event place there, but if you also needed to capture the publisher 
(of a proceedings, for example) and its place, I don't think you could 
do it.

I just sent a note to the Library of Congress people to see if they can 
slip a type attribute for place into the new release.  I've been doing 
this for the past six months though, so they might be sick of me ;-)

Still, they've implemented most of my suggestions.
