Hm. Actually the menuitems are timestamps, but indicator-datetime's
header is a preformatted string -- we could prevent some bus traffic by
changing that to a timestamp as well. We'd need to add a new entry (say,
"time-title") to the header dictionary that the indicators pass over,
and Unity 8 would need to check for that and if found use it instead of
the dict's standard "title" entry.

Saviq, does that sound alright to you?
