For many users this might be correct, but this is IMHO policy that 
should get decided by the UI-client (like g-p-m oder kpowersave) and
not by hal.

But generally speaking having some smart intelligence about this would
surely be fine for quite some people.
E.g. below 15% batterylevel "smartsuspend" will always do true
hibernate, if ac is online and battery is full "smartsuspend" could
trigger a suspend2both.. etc.

Have fun,
Frank
