Write, or get someone to write, a proposal.

Perhaps it could leverage:

   http://dev.zope.org/Wikis/DevSite/Projects/ComponentArchitecture/DublicCoreMetaDataForContent

Somehow.

Note that a template or method that displays data from a single piece of
content should be able to use the modification time of the content.

Note also that content modification time should be independent of
database modification time. (Although, you can fall back on database
modification time if the application doesn't track an application-meaningful
time.)
