Does Palm have a list of which traps should "absolutly not" be trapped ?
It would be very helpfull to have something to reference when writting
trap code.

Ugh, please, absolutely do NOT try patching HwrDoze or HwrSleep!

The Palm OS does not currently have a convenient API for notifying apps 
when the device is going to sleep. The best you can do is look for a 
vchrPowerOff event (a.k.a. powerOffChr command key event) and take action 
before and/or after passing the event on to SysHandleEvent which will call 
the internal, system-use-only Palm OS SysSleep function when it sees this 
event.

Note this is not the autoOffChr command key event... that's a 'request' to 
fall asleep event rather than a 'demand' to fall asleep event. Auto-off 
events are ignored, for example, when the stay-on-in-cradle preference is 
selected.
