Regretfully, I was unable to think of any, but maybe someone else can come up with some brilliant solutions? I would be interested to know what other sorts of problems or oddities people have come across when trying to implement or use faceted LCSH that I didn't mention in the article.

I've been struggling with how to implement faceting with LCSH for a few months now and this article touches on pretty much all of the issues I’ve run into. I haven’t come to any brilliant solutions for my authority issues based on the article, but it has given me some food for thought. The issues addressed in the article really resonated with me.
