Interesting.  My technique has been to give  proceedings references in two 
parts, one for the book itself, and one for the article within it.  An example 
is:

@inproceedings{dgv:wkidea,
   crossref  = {crypto:93},
   author    = {Daemen, Joan and Govaerts, Ren{\'{e}} and Vandewalle, Joos},
   title     = {Weak Keys for {IDEA}},
   annote    = {Discovery of a class of chosen-plaintext weak IDEA keys},
   pages     = {224--231}
}

@proceedings{crypto:93,
   editor    = {Stinson, Douglas R.},
   title     = {Advances in Cryptology---{CRYPTO} '93},
   booktitle = {Advances in Cryptology---{CRYPTO} '93},
   volume    = {773},
   series    = {Lecture Notes in Computer Science},
   publisher = {Springer-Verlag, 1994},
   address   = {Santa Barbara, CA},
   month     = Aug # {~22--26,},
   year      = {1993},
   isbn      = {3-540-57766-1}
}

You may notice that my practice has been to use the address, month and year 
fields of the book entry to refer to the conference, to depend upon the 
publisher's name without an address to identify it uniquely, and to list the 
copyright year with the publisher's name if it is different from the year of 
the conference.

Apparently, I'm out-of-step.  If the address field should apply to the 
publisher, should the month field be scrapped and the year field give the year 
of publication instead of the year of the conference?  Also, can anyone 
enlighten me as to the pitfalls associated with my past practice?
