Style error: apa.csl: "speech" type & "event-place"

Using pandoc-citeproc with apa.csl, "event-place" in type "speech" is not rendered.

apa.csl seems to use "publisher-place" for formatting "speech" items.

Since Zotero exports its "Place" field to both "event-place" and "publisher-place", this effect is not seen when using Zotero.

It would be nice if apa.csl could be made to use "event-place" instead of "publisher-place" for "speech".

(I think the same problem was spotted and fixed in chicago-author-date.csl a short while ago, and I suspect other styles might be affected, too.)

Note that in both Zotero and pandoc, "lecture" in the "D’Erasmo" item is not capitalized in the output, while "Paper" in the "Teplin" item is (both are lowercase in the data). I hope this can be fixed, too.

pandoc example:

pandoc -s -F pandoc-citeproc -t markdown-citations << EOT

Foo [@item1].
Bar [@item2].

    The pandoc example is super helpful, but if you could post those on pastebin.com or gist.github.com in the future that'd be great (I think that's why the dates are missing, though not sure). Copying from here messes up the spaces and as you know YAML is picky about those.

    Thank you. And, yes, dates (re)appear if indentation in YAML is fixed. For comparison, my example file is now at https://gist.github.com/anonymous/875b09b6e52218e28db6
