Hmmm ... In the detail view we allow "Custom" reminders, too, no?

I'm thinking they should apply to the selected row/occurrence only:  
applying to all would be weird when the reminder fired, because it  
would be unclear which occurrence it related to.

As a chandler-dev@ aside, it's a bug if calling

occurrenceRemindable.userReminderTime = None

doesn't so the right thing. Which it might currently not :)
