Bibliography issue, @ELECTRONIC editor

ConTeXters,

The following example demonstrates an issue with the ELECTRONIC bib type:

    \startbuffer[TestBib]
    @ELECTRONIC{Edited,
       editor = {An Editor},
       title = {A title},
       url = {http://www.example.com},
       year = {2017},
    }
    @ELECTRONIC{Authored,
       author = {An Author},
       title = {Another title},
       url = {http://www.example.com},
       year = {2017},
    }
    \stopbuffer
      \loadbtxdefinitionfile[apa]
      \usebtxdefinitions    [apa]
      \usebtxdataset        [TestBib.buffer]
      \definebtxrendering   [Pubs][apa]
    \enabletrackers[publications.authorhash]
    \starttext
    \nocite[*]
    \placelistofpublications[Pubs]
    \stoptext

Although either editor or author should be accepted, only author is 
processed. There is a warning message generated by the publications 
subsystem:

    unable to create short for 'Edited', needs one of [author,editor]

but clearly there is an editor. A reasonable workaround is to use author 
instead of editor, but it would be nice to have a fix.

Editor is not a standard field for the entry @electronic.
It is defined for @article, @periodical, @book, @inbook, @incollection,
and @proceedings. This follows the bibtex documentation and the
standard tools used for maintaining bib files.

Of course, we could add this, or any other field, but I find no entry
either in the APA Specifications describing this.

Sorry. You are, of course, right about that. I misread the table in 
mkiv-publications.

The problem I have is that all non-author electronic entries are grouped 
at the top of the bibliography by date. However, APA for electronic 
entries with no author should use the title (or a few salient words from 
the text) at the beginning of the bibliography entry. Currently ConTeXt 
uses a blank space and the date.
