Hi Richard,
Just a heads up that I updated my lcsh-subset script [1] to use the
OpenSearch interface that Clay got working again. I generated a subset
of subjects the mention 'buddhism', which I committed to the
repository as an example [2]. Incidentally it found 1565 subjects.
If you need help getting it to work let me know. Otherwise, I think
it's simple enough that you could port it to another programming
language environment fairly easily.
