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.
