I agree. It would also be incredibly easy to do: I've been told that
the AMS keeps tex source files for all its journals. Surely it would
be possible to clip out the subject classification from Math Reviews
and archive it at one of the ftp sites.

Is there anyone from the AMS on line here? Could this be done?

Would one of the tex archive sites volunteer space? Or somebody else?

I guarantee there's be lots of grateful mathematicians.
