Chris,

A little more explanation?

Where would we add subjectCT and what would be its content model?

Note that we already have a subject element in the header (from Dublin 
Core). It does not have enumerated types. Are you suggesting LCSH be its 
type attribute and control the content of <subject>?

There are a number of other systems, Dewey, one by the American 
Theological Libraries Association, one by the Pontifical Biblical 
Institute, any number of systems in use in Europe. Don't know that we 
can generate a really comprehensive list quickly.

Hope you are having a great day!

Patrick
