The thing I loved about the series was the way it had so many different methods of hinting at and foreshadowing what was yet to pass. Time travel, prophecy, dreams etc.
If the B4 storyline is the only instance of time travel in the B5 universe it does seem odd to me.
The creators of the great machine were powerful in their day, but I never got the feeling they were upto first one level technology. We live in a world were the theories behind and basic design for building a Nuclear Bomb is pretty much universally available. (it's just the expence etc that stops every nutjob from having one) If time travel is possible I'm sure the first ones must have the capablity to do it.
Maybe they tried it a bit but figured out it was to dangerous and drew up treaties forbidding it. Maybe early Vorlon temporal experiments were other instances of the mistakes Lyta refered to in Thirdspace?
