Why do you think replay of entire messages is a problem?

Or are you concerned with attacks based on the canonicalization algorithm,
which might allow an attacker to add content to a previous message? This
is a message modification attack rather than a replay attack (to use the
terminology in RFC 3552).

Yes, very important to differentiate the two.   The latter is much
more usefully exploitable to spammers and more likely to occur.
