Well, I can understand the code easily, but it could have been very
difficult to find out without you since it is not explained in facet user
guide and I couldn't imagine TaxonomyReader was the key to this process.

It would have been a lot better if there had been a higher level API for
retrieving or traversing child categories.

What do you like to do regarding this?
