I thought we were going to go for a "one document per event" model;
similar to the existing "one document per news item" and "one
document per product" sytems that we already have working well.

This allows us to have fine-grained control over events that repeat
by having multiple event components per document.

So these three fields are just the standard document "Properties":

> Language
> Event Title
> Event Description

These are really generic document metadata:

> Location
> Coverage Country

This is an events component:

> Time Zone
> Start Date      Hour Minute Day Month Year
> End Date        Hour Minute Day Month Year

Surely the URI is the document self/uri?  Any other links can be
added inline to the document:

> Event URI

These can be inline text as part of the document since I can't see
any real point in distributing the Organiser details as metadata:

> Event Organiser Organisation
> Event Organiser Contact
> Event Organiser Email

(If this stuff is really necessary, I would prefer to have a new
"person/organisation" component that can be added to any document)

In fact all this can all be reduced to just two new components:

Event Component
---------------

* Time Zone
* Start Date      Hour Minute Day Month Year
* End Date        Hour Minute Day Month Year

Place Component
---------------

* Location
* Coverage Country
* Organisation Name
* Contact Person
* Email
