Thanks, that's helpful. I guess it partly comes from thinking of it from a MARC perspective.

I'm sure other people know a better answer but to some extent subject 
analysis is covered (partly) by chapters 12 and 23 which didn't get done in 
time, and just have placeholders saying "to be developed".

Also because existing classification and subject headings were outside the 
remit of descriptive cataloguing in AACR too, so we can continue our 
current practice in these areas since they weren't governed by AACR2 
anyway.
