Hi Alan,

I think that this is unfortunately not true. Let's take system with 
multiple keyboards and their LEDs as an excellent example again. If you 
kill the interrupt URB, there is nothing what will prevent other keyboard 
(PS/2 or even USB keyboard, which is not yet suspended) to generate an 
input event (user presses CapsLock/NumLock at a 'right' time). Then you'll 
get out of sync, won't you?

Thanks,
