Perhaps it is not necessary to have the messages queued in timed order, but
on the other hand and application should be able to know the order of the
messages and thus has no good reason not queue them time ordered. I think
a requirement for time-ordered queueing in combination with a global
pre-schedule
value (i.e. minimum time scheduled events are to be queued early) could
simplify
implementation.
