This seems dependent on the hardware capabilities to support this sort
of wakeup event.

I would not think the UI or Alarm API needs to expose any control of
this, so we can probably move forward and decide this at a later time. 
In my view it is an implementation at the lower layers and either always
alarms when off or never does. Is that consistent with the Nokia
implementation?
