That's the discussion whether apps should/could get the value from sysfs, 
(lib)udev, ContextKit, QtMobility, FreeDesktop D-Bus PowerManager, and/or the 
proprietary BME message queue protocol. And that was not my point.

MeeGo is not just a standardized developer API. It's an operating system and 
an implementation of that API. I am questioning not how the value should be 
read, but where the value should come from. Unless there is a reason why 
reimplementing the API back-end with every MeeGo products is unavoidable, this 
stuff should be commoditized.

I mean, we already have the Linux kernel as our HAL with all the per-hardware 
drivers.
