I have a mildly negative feeling about this. If Remind uses *only* 24-hour time, then there is never any ambiguity. If 12-hour times are supported, then the user has to be extra careful to always encode the AT timespec properly. You can't even reliably drop the "a..." suffix because 12-hour time is not 0-indexed (e.g. 12:30am -> 00:30). I'm a programmer, and I realize that this sometimes gives me a twisted worldview, but frankly 12-hour time sucks. And I say this as an American who uses 12-hour time in casual use.
