That appears to work (Fn-F5 toggles bluetooth only) on 2.6.31 as well,

But can you elaborate a little bit more about how this works?  You
already wrote HAL generates events that the kernel interprets. But what
do these lines tell the kernel exactly? Is it just the ":bluetooth"
part? I am simply missing the "action" part, as it had to be defined
previously with acpid.
