I started writing it as an example application, but it's already
past that point, so it's future direction is really undetermined.

Sure, I don't see why not.  It would be fairly easy to write a
generic Notification class with a number of backend
implementations.

I'd have to say that those kinds of events would belong in a
Kronolith setup.  Kronolith is aimed more at being a calendar
while Nag is meant to be a simple list of ToDo tasks which may or
may not be bound to a given date or time.
