Comment (by joostdevalk):

 Might I suggest being slightly more ambitious? Getting last mod data for
 taxonomies is relatively hard if you want to query it without storing
 anything anywhere, but there are better ways around that (like, storing
 the lastmod date for a taxonomy term when something is added to that
 term).

 From an SEO perspective, getting lastmod dates on everything is truly
 getting more important with Google's latest announcements and Bing's
 improvements. It really does make web crawling a lot more efficient.
