A client I work on, BarnOwl [1], has been, perhaps incorrectly, using
the former wording to allow for a<subject/> element along with a
<body/> element to indicate a subject for the particular message,
without changing the topic of MUC. This is used to emulate a feature
that every IM since Zephyr [2] is lacking, which allows for multiple
threaded conversations to exist in a single forum [3].
I'm interested in getting feedback on this usage and perhaps getting it
standardized.
Can you not use<thread>?:

No, thread is not quite right.
"The value of the <thread/> element is not human-readable and MUST be
treated as opaque by entities; no semantic meaning can be derived from it,
and only exact comparisons can be made against it. The value of the
<thread/> element MUST be a universally unique identifier (UUID) as
described in [UUID]."
We're looking for threading on topics like 'xmpp', 'cooking', 'physics', etc.
