Hello Antoine,
Both issues have been corrected and pushed to production. There's a cache server sitting in front of ID so you may not see the change immediately, or consistently, for a little while.
Here's a sample: http://id.loc.gov/authorities/subjects/sh88003539.skos.rdf
Is that what you are expecting?
In other news, except for our desire to remove lang tags from Name resources, which did in fact happen, none of the other "background" details I provided below were factors here. This issue actually pre-dated those changes by quite some time, much older than I anticipated. So let me ask you this: Have you been using the ID SKOS data regularly (say for months or years) and just noticed this today or were you not using the ID SKOS data regularly and noticed it the moment you started?
All the best,
Kevin

Dear Kevin,
Thanks for the very fast answer! Much appreciated.
All this sounds good, and I'm happy to hear you're working on a fix.
May I ask you the favor of deploying both fixes at the same time? I.e. waiting until the language tags can be added to the skos:altLabels before removing the (tagged) skos-xl:altLabel values? We really need these tags at Europeana and it would be cumbersome if there was a period of time during which they're not available in a simple way.
Very best regards,
Antoine

The inconsistency you noticed in the Subjects is clearly something that was missed.
