What happened here is that the entire 'edit alarm' overlay form used to start as an entirely commented out section of html (see #L0L78). In those days, when the user would first request the edit form, we would uncomment this region and trigger the form render. That's why we needed to set up eventlisteners and do translations at this point. It was a performance optimization for faster app loading, but what I was seeing was that when the form first loaded (and slid over the background clock), it would take a second before rendering correctly and would look pretty ugly. So I removed this optimization, and it didn't seem to effect loading time much if at all. Do you know much about this loading performance trick? I've never seen it before.
