The entire replay feature relies on the presence of an eventTime (or
similar).  If the manager can't figure out when the notifications were
generated, he cannot set startTime and stopTime to get missing
notifications.  IMO, it's a big mistake that this event time isn't
standardized - it means that a manager, in order to use replay
efficiently, has to know all datamodels of all notifications, and know
where to find the non-standard event time in each one.
