IMO this seems to be a good way. Is there an entry for this in the wiki, 
yes?

the clean way to let the odeviced handle the alarm-setting 
(communication between the two daemons via dbus) and just have a 
dbus-interface for that in the new daemon.

|     The interesting bit of this is to distinguish between dates that 
just had wake
