This gives me information that the archive may have missed certain events.  Client tools can handle this information as they choose - the Channel Archive Viewer shows a gap in plotted data, but our version of the CS-Studio data browser doesn't.

Yes, although it isn't obvious.  Look for a FieldValue named
"cnxlostepsecs" attached to the event following a disconnect.  This is
the time at which the connection was lost (seconds part only).

Personally I prefer having special events.  So my carchivetools
retrieval scripts translate these into the special events
(severity=3904) that you're expecting.
