'Of course it makes sense that the container for 'incollection' would
be 'collection' ;)'
Yes, this is what biblatex suggests. I have tried the
book/incollection combination, which is my usual coding too, but
biblatex is not rendering the 'book' part properly, so I have switched
to 'proceedings' (which is fine and rather consistent anyway, many
collective books start as workshops).
Thanks for the comments
