Should nonce and timestamp logic go in the application level protocol?

Nonce alone can't be implemented efficiently.  You have to have time stamps
as well, otherwise you are stuck storing ever nonce you've ever seen,
forever.

Even nonce + time stamp is challenging in distributed systems.  It adds a
lot of complexity.  That complexity is sometimes merited, but not always.
