Sure, I suppose you can, but most suspend tools just echo stuff to /sys (or still /proc/acpi/sleep) which makes it harder to script it. Besides, when a laptop goes into suspend to RAM there should be no extra power on except a Moon or some other icon.
That said, the ACPI thinkpad extras was designed to do all of this so why shouldn't the driver do S3 suspend if it hooks into it already?
