When the PREMIS Data Dictionary was developed, it was thought that
eventOutcomeDetail might need some additional structure, which might be
done locally, but that structure wasn't specified. I think that is why the
schema is written this way, although the entry in the data dictionary
itself doesn't say that it must have children. In any case, we are almost
finished with the revision of the data dictionary and this is one case
where we are allowing extensibility for any additional structure that is
needed. So we are adding a container unit to include either
eventOutcomeDetail, which would contain unstructured text, and/or an
extension element, which may have additional structure, locally defined or
from another schema.
