C) does let me add NEW content like my BACKUP status, but I don't want to call my stuff NEW unless it really is new.

I think what Greg meant was, you can send any column header you like in a status message, so make stuff up to suit your needs. Just don't let it be too many characters, or it'll take up too much width. I've done this with many web page checkouts - I have columns labelled 'login', 'logout', 'check', 'db', 'stats', etc. Just don't use 'info' or 'trends'.
