However, I would like to know if there is anything foreseen for dealing with time stamped data. We are going towards acquisition systems in which each actor/detector is "throwing" data at its maximum speed without being synchronized with other actors/detectors.

nice to hear from you again. What you are describing will become a topic in the near future. Until then we still have 
NXlog to offer. Or may be NXlog is the future? So what about, storing NXlog’s instead of fields in the NeXus structure 
where you have such time stamped data?
