Keep in mind that is_tax() is useless for link categories and navigation
menus, as they don't have archive pages. It's also useless for categories
and tags, because is_tax() is exclusively custom taxonomies, and returns
false for these.

It *does* work for post formats, but it looks like we should be adding a
wrapper function there for a conditional tag for post format pages. I'll
take a look on adding one. Otherwise though, is_tax() is only useful for
custom, non-core taxonomies.

Cheers,
Andrew
