I just wanted to point out for anyone that's following that the hibernation 
script  for Suspend2 does support this "suspend to both" notion -- in case 
one finds mu-suspend not mature enough (or lacking in other features).

Still, though, I'm concerned about this idea of running the battery out of 
power while S3 sleeping  I know I've done this inadvertently with my computer 
when it wasn't sleeping... just ran the laptop until the battery just gave 
up.  When I turned on the laptop, it took a little while for it to start 
charging again, and I was frankly a bit scared that I needed to buy another 
battery.  The battery did eventually start charging again, but I think I 
might have over-stressed it and reduced it's lifetime.  Any thoughts on this?

If it is possible to drain a battery too far, would a ACPI S3 sleep quit in 
time to not cause any damage?  Maybe this is a candidate question for the 
acpi4linux mailing list.
