Subject tags in metadata

Calibre saves information in the <dc:subject> tags differently depending on whether you "Save to disk" or do a conversion.


When I populate the Tags field in the Edit Metadata window with multiple entries (e.g. History, Economics) and do a conversion from epub to mobi, the subject tags in the metadata look like this:

<dc:subject>Economics</dc:subject>
<dc:subject>History</dc:subject>


If, however, I do a Save to Disk, then the entries are conjoined like this:

<dc:subject>Economics, History</dc:subject>


I believe the specs don't have a standardized terminology so any string can be written, but shouldn't the entries be kept separate.
