I would also like a field for the source of the document. This will
allow people to take local copies of documents without loosing track of
where they came from and where updated versions may be found. It may
also simplify mirroring sites too, especially given their is a field for
the license information.

I've had a dilemma about whether I should be placing the sites name at
the top-level heading or elsewhere. If there were a location field, I
would avoid placing the site's name at the top-most header, reclaiming
another layer of heading depth in the process.

Regardless of whether this becomes an official standard, I will probably
adopt this or something like it because it makes so much sense.

I would additionally like a field for the author and authors email
address, but that's less important to me.

I'm also proposing that these additional fields are optional.
