Wendy:
There is no question that we need this element in the LifeCycleEvent, 
just doesn't need to be mandatory (can default to the  wrapping Archive  
element's  organization reference). Tools should take care of keeping 
this consistent if you ever copy  LifeCycleEvent elements from one  
Archive to another.
