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.
