Better than B.

No, this seems very confusing.

I can live with it, but I don't prefer it.

I'd prefer:

D) treat startTime in the future as an error, but stopTime in the
   future is ok (it's like giving a startTime w/o a stopTime, but let
   the agent stop the notifications at a certain time.)

A special "now" value for the stopTime seems useful - it's like a
'cat' on the file.
