One limitation in EAD is the absence of bibliographic type elements relating
to publication chracteristics such as publisher name, place of publication,
etc. Name elements with role attributes might be used.
The addition of such elements has already been suggested as a possible
addition to the next verison of EAD.

> Is anyone using EAD to catalogue collections of printed ephemera or

> large collections of ephemera (Reading houses the Centre of Ephemera
> Studies http://www.rdg.ac.uk/AcaDepts/lt/main/ephe/ephe.html) and finding
> very little work has been done in this area. AACR2 and MARC aren't felt
> to be satisfactory and neither APPM nor MAD2 (the UK equivalent) mention
> ephemera specifically. A question on Autocat produced very little
> feedback.
