I have just finished the new location module in property (HEAD) - it 
consists of a meta-database that allows total freedom in designing the 
hierarchy  - each new level in the hierarchy creates a new table 
(fm_location{level}) which have its keys(loc1,loc2...loc{level}) as fk 
to the parent level.
One can name the levels what ever one wants - and add as many attributes 
as one wants per level. each attribute can be set to show up in lists(or 
not). When querying one level - it is joined with its parent to the top 
level. In addition to each level-key - there is a superkey which can 
serve as one single resource-key. (example: level 3 has the keys 
loc1,loc2,loc3 - and the superkey(location_code): 'loc1-loc2-loc3')
It would have been nice if this location code could be hooked up as a 
resource in calendar. This would also make Calendar a great tool for 
maintenance-planning.
