as regards the sensorsd approach, i've known about that possibility since forever, and think about it every time i find my laptop has a dead battery, but have never quite been motivated enough to set it up. i've heard the same from several others. to me this suggests a certain usability hurdle. sensor framework is great to make sure your scsi enclosure doesn't melt down and sends you a page, but it's a little too diy for something as simple as suspend. after all, we could eliminate lidsuspend/action and rely entirely on sensors for that too, but that'd be silly.
