I think it's a great idea.  Some people (myself included) will 
inevitably forget (occasionally) to use proper labels in the subject 
line, but it'll still reduce, if not eliminate, the sorting 
readers'll have to do manually.  If we can come up with a 
standardized list of labels, I'll be glad to start using them.
