For anything but the node id, yes, this is what I would tend to favor.
For the node id, I am partly skewed but I would be happy to support an
API which involves Simulator::Schedule because I can see a couple of
other interesting uses for that API, none of which are needed now, but
which would be cool to have eventually.
