I was suggesting it only because I thought I had run into this at some point in
documentation - but might have been a nightmare :)

I am not sure how we could support that much information easily within MARC.
With Zebra, we need to stick to some conventions to have indexing work, so
using a totally outside of MARC solution will probably not work. Also a lot of
the code and modules we use expect a one character subfield code. 

The only thing I could think of is something like using some subfield with
prefixes for different content... adjust indexing etc. I really believe using
capital letters is a reasonable compromise to keep things easy to handle.
