I don't understand 'n-ary', but this is one of those areas where RDA has an "empty node" that has parts, like "publication statement" which is made up of place + publisher + date. We really didn't know what to do with those -- we could ignore the empty element and just include the "sub" elements, but we figure that since the empty ones are on the RDA list of elements people might look for them in our list. There never is a value for placeAndDate... itself, just the sub-elements. I'll look over the finished scenarios during the day.
