There are some things things I'm not fully convinced of yet:
* Food: :food_id

I feel the current wording doesn't make it clear enough that the standard for
people staying off-site should be to get (be it by paying or getting it
sponsored) their food (lunch+dinner) at the conference venue: making the
"offsite->ownfood" relation explicit hides the "offsite->venuefood" relation
that should IMHO be standard. It also applies to some extent to
"onsite->ownfood", which should stay the exception given the distance/time to
shops.
What about (reordering is intentional):
- I request sponsored food (not available to pro/corp if possible)
- I wish to pay for food at the conference (25 CHF/day)
- Will care for my own food. I understand that there are no shops nearby.
* Food preference: I feel that the word doesn't express strongly enough what
we want to know, so I'd rather word it "Food restrictions". In my en_CH
understanding, if someone says she has a _preference_ for vegan food, then we,
as conference, can still give her meat without a problem, which is not the
case with a "food restriction" (which also extends to allergies, etc). By
making it a select-box for food restrictions, the first and standard option
would be "none" then.
* I am not really sure that the questions set makes it clear enough what room
category would the "sponsored accomodation" attendees get, but don't have a
good proposal on how to solve it. Also, it's not really clear that "nights"
include breakfast at the venue.
* Transatlantic T-shirt sizes experience tells me that "T-shirt size" should
probably be explicitated, but I really don't know how (gut feeling is that a
US "L" is a European "XL").
* That's probably a separate discussion, but as some discussion have
highlighted on IRC, 20 CHF/night for "no-bed" can be considered quite
expensive [0]. I would be open to making a 2-4 CHF conference sponsoring on
that option (as a new "extended budget" consideration), acknowledging that in
many conditions, we would pay more to the venue for that possibility than we
get from the attendee.

Indeed, congratulations for this quite productive meeting!
