That's a useful theorem, but it doesn't replace the existing one, which is
intended for the (not so) special case where A is defined to be U. J. Well,
we're moving away from this style anyway in favor of extensible structure
versions, where you don't have to worry about reconstructing the base set
from one of the fields.

The union of a proper class is (potentially) a proper class, for example
univ. So the theorem is false without the assumption.

This might be more general but it's less useful, because now you have to
rewrite quite a bit to get back to the original version. (It also still
needs the assumption on J being a set, and this version also needs A to be
a set.)

While I think it would be fine to use the term "subspace operator" if only
by convention, there are lots of things that are called subspaces in
mathematics and this operator only applies to structures that involve sets
of sets. For example vector subspaces, metric subspaces, Hilbert subspaces
and so on; none of these use this operator to form the subspace. It would
be more appropriate to apply this term to df-ress, which is indended for
taking subspaces in all kinds of structures.
