Addresses and the CSL personal_communication type

fbennett
There's a reminder out that the "letter" type requires a means of entering an address. As this issue was first alluded to two years ago, and as CSL 1.0 is nearing the final stages of completion, it's worth checking at this point that CSL provides adequate coverage on this issue, so that if an any adjustment is needed, it can be made before the schema is finalized.

Looking at the current tip version of the schema, there seem to be several variables suitable for an address: publisher-place, archive-place, and event-place. It looks as though "event-place" could safely be used for the destination address of a letter, providing coverage for this use case. Would that be correct? Or would it fall short of the mark?

    Well, it would be great to cover both a place of writing and the destination address (see example below). How about "event-place" for place where the letter was written, and "recipient-place" for destination?
