As far as sub-association goes, there's perhaps something going on here socially with regard to communities.
Generally speaking, users expect that a community has semi/occasionally-open membership. But since communities are currently the only official model for having a separate journal with the same login, the following happens: 1. some people make a community in order to have a de-facto second journal 2. some people make a community in order to have, essentially, a journal for postings by a small number of people (I do this with incrementum, my parenting blog), but there's no way to distinguish this in the UX, so incrementum for example shows up in interests pages with equal status to communities that people can actually join.
Model #2 is a separate problem, but perhaps Model #1 is overlapping this problem a fair bit. Will communities be able to be migrated to sub-accounts? Will all of the use cases of "I'm setting up a comm for my icons, I am the only poster" be catered for by subaccounts? Why/why not?
