I think of sleep as a much lower power state than suspend you keep ram up but little else. I use the term auto-suspend and forced-suspend to differentiate between when the laptop is idle and when you have closed the lid. So right now I don't see us as having a "sleep" mode. Sleep == off.

There are 2 IO lines from the EC to the WLAN module to indicate 4 battery states.
