Hi, I agree that for pure biblography programs the difference between 
proceedings and conferences is negligible. You have usually a 1:1 mapping and 
those confrences without proceedings won't appear in a literature database 
anyways :)

However, I see the "conference" entity as a possible connection hub for other 
applications. For example, you have contacts to pepole that you met at a 
conference, the conference schedules, several todos, mails about flights an 
hotels and much more. All that is obviously not stored in a literature 
database and an entity like "proceedings" is not adequate to express the 
meaning of a conference at all.

So, in my opinion a conference entity would simplify the connection between 
the present literature and everything else that is connected to a conference 
(which actually is to most parts already contained in Nepomuk, like by the 
Akonadi feeders of KMail and KOrganizer...)


Greetings,
