My understanding is that SACO libraries do not need to propose any 
"backdoor headings", that is, headings that are only needed for the 
reference structure in LCSH and that would normally be free-floating and 
not require an authority record.  A simple example would be the broader 
heading Rivers--England as the BT on a proposal for a specific river in 
England.  CPSO staff will establish authority records for backdoor 
headings.  Any other types of broader or related term headings must also 
be proposed separately by SACO libraries.

I note that SCM:SH H200 says that editorial staff will create records for generic terms divided by specific places or heading-subdivisions. If you can do it algorithmically, it probably makes sense to automate these validation records.
