No point in polluting the subject tags with things for which there is a Dublin Core metadata element -- like Language, Publisher etc.

A books Language setting is also used elsewhere, you wouldn't want to spell check Анна Каренина against an English or French dictionary .

Language in the metadata can be wrong. I've bought some English-language books that had Spanish or even Arabic set in their metadata. You just cannot rely on that.
