Yeah, that is true. I should probably go through and do that -- there are not that many servers where this is an issue.
If I had something to wish for though, it would be a better scheduler. ;)

Do you know about the notes directory?? Somewhere like <xymonhome>/server/www/notes. Drop a file in there called "myserver.domain.com.html" and you'll get a link on the info page just under the Hostname/OS/IP lines. You'll also find that the hostname becomes a link wherever it appears in the main or non-green pages.
Not as good as having it in the info page, but better than nothing.

Yes, that is what I currently do (I actually have some that are second X-day of the month which are even more complicated), but it is a shame that I now do not see the downtime information in the 'info' test. With BB, no such test existed so it wasn't as big of a deal as everyone was used to looking in cron.

On the other hand, you could use cron to schedule disablement of services:
0 0 * * * /home/xymon/server/bin/bb localhost "disable server,domain,org.TEST 90 scheduled downtime"
would disable the TEST service on server.domain.org <http://server.domain.org> <http://server.domain.org> for 90 minutes, starting at midnight every night. Note that the hostname elements are comma-separated, because the dot marks the beginning of the test/service column name. That's a legacy of the old BB days...
See the "XYMON MESSAGE SYNTAX" section in the bb.1 man page for full details.

With that said, DOWNTIME cannot do advanced scheduling which is I believe one of the very few shortcomings of Xymon. I have a lot of once-a-month maintenance. With Xymon, I believe the maximumtime you
can do between is weekly.-- Sent from my Palm Pre
