Location in MODS 2.0 did not have subelements and did have the authority
attribute. Because MODS 3.0 now makes a distinction between an identifier
and an electronic location, <location> now has 2
subelements: <physicalLocation> (which is equivalent to the MODS 2.0
location) and <url>, which was added. So <physicalLocation> takes the
attributes that location did in 2.0: authority, displayLabel, lang,
xml:lang, script and transliteration.
