1) From a Remind development perspective, it is inelegant and provides a brand new way to introduce bugs. 2) From a user's perspective, you might develop the incorrect expectation that you can freely use HH:MM notation to denote any time in the morning while using HH:MMpm to denote afternoon/evening. Then one day you set your Remind-based alarm clock for "12:15" and end up waking in the afternoon instead of just after midnight.
