Additional fields aren't actually required.  A fully functional EAS 
interface was demo'd last month in DC using only existing elements 
(specifically, the <code>, <expires>, <parameter> and <geocode> 
elements).  That method was used to trigger various EAS devices while 
maintaining compatibility and interoperability in a network of nine 
different implementers (five of whom were also TC members.)

I'd be happy to draft an Implementation Note on this specific 
application if folks think it's appropriate.
