I like this proposal from the perspective of
the publishing protocol where I believe
both 'term' and 'label' are important pieces
of information that the user would want to
manipulate.
I would prefer the element name be switched to
'subject' because it's use closely matches that of the
dc:subject element.
I would also prefer 'term' not be an attribute but
be the element content.
