Slap a date/time-design-pattern <abbr> in there and it would look pretty 
simple.

One thing though, I use at least one chat program that has an option to 
condense all contiguous messages from a single author together so that it 
just displays the author once, but the timestamp of each message.  This is 
continued until a message from a different author appears.  I assume this 
feature exists in the small minority, but thought I would mention it just in 
case.
