I'm out of my depth here :)

But... this is what I understood Andrew to be saying. In this instance
(?because 'England' is a Name Authority?) rather than create a separate LCSH
authority record for 'England' (as the 151), rather the LCSH subdivision is
recorded in the 781 of the existing Name Authority record.

Searching on http://authorities.loc.gov for England, I find an Authorised
heading, marked as a LCSH - but when I go to that record what I get is the
name authority record n 82068148 - the name authority record as represented
on VIAF by http://viaf.org/viaf/142995804/ (which links to
http://errol.oclc.org/laf/n%20%2082068148.html)

Just as this is getting interesting time differences mean I'm about to head
home :)
