Hi Phil,
I totally agree with your post and hope that Apple considers this proposal. In fact, I found this post by searching to see if third-party apps can trigger alarm-style notifications; I'm disappointed to learn that they can't. I believe this functionality would enhance reminders or to-do apps because an alarm can give a user a high degree of assurance that they'll be reminded of something when they need to be.
