We should first make sure we understand the purpose for adding this 
information.  We have an Added date so that tag users can see which subtags 
were available at any given time.  But because of certain stability measures 
we have taken, once a subtag is added, it should always be valid from that 
point on, with essentially the same meaning.  A Modified date might imply 
that the meaning of a subtag changed on that date, which isn't supposed to 
happen.
