You could also combine the best of both solutions with:

<xsl:for-each select="//dc:subject">
       <tr>
            <td scope="col" class="width1"/>
            <th scope="col" class="width20">Subject</th>
<xsl:if test="@xsi:type">
<xsl:text> (</xsl:text)
 <xsl:value-of select="substring-after(@xsi:type, ':')"/>
<xsl:text>)</xsl:text>
 </xsl:if>
<xsl:text>: </xsl:text>
            <td scope="col" class="widthAuto">
                <xsl:value-of select="."/>
            </td>
       </tr>
</xsl:for-each>

...which would allow for the addition of other controlled subject
vocabularies (or none at all) without having to update your stylesheet.
