So what is needed to do this the right way is an addition to the platform that makes the lock screen UI customizable, but that doesn't interfere with the functionality otherwise.
Like app widgets, but for the lock screen. Maybe a step more complex so that the widgets can trigger an unlock when manipulated correctly. The way the HTC Tattoo is named and marketed shows that HTC thinks personalization is important to users. It would be interesting to see what marketing research went into that decision. If personalization really is something a lot of users enjoy, then devoting the resources to add support for this to the platform, or accepting an outside patch for it, might be something companies want to do.
