No alarm time display in lock screen

The alarm application in Windows Phone is very close to what I would call a perfect, i.e. sufficiently easy, versatile, and powerful implementation of an alarm clock. It allows for multiple labeled alarm times, repeated alarms and individual alarm sounds assignable to every alarm. Moreover, the alarm clock live tile displays the time of the next alarm on the home screen which is a gift for all you obsessive-compulsive alarm time recheckers out there.

In contrast to the live tile, however, the lock screen only shows the alarm clock symbol to notify you that an alarm is active. It omits to tell you when this alarm will go off. Hence, you might just mistake the alarm you forgot to set for tomorrow's pivotal job interview with the everyday "kiss wife" alarm. How hard could it be to include the time of the next upcoming alarm alongside the alarm symbol in the lock screen?
