[DCRM-L] Subdividing Genre Terms

[Erin Blake]

We stopped subdividing 655s in 2014, but it wasn't just in anticipation of
linked data. It was also in anticipation of faceted check-boxes appearing
in a side-bar (which we are only now about to get, in 2022!) and to avoid
duplication of effort: since places and dates appear in standardized form
elsewhere in the record.

That being said, we still subdivide manuscripts by century, at the request
of the Curator of Manuscripts.
