Is there a mechanism for either applications or users to change the
parameters? And what constitutes "idle"?
In particular, I'm thinking about the book reader. If you're sitting
around under a tree reading, and you're not a particularly fast reader
or you get distracted, it could get really annoying to have the display
keep turning off.
Similarly, turn-based games over the mesh might have you waiting while
your opponent moves, and you might not be sitting there tapping the
keyboard while waiting.
I think an aggressive set of defaults is a good idea, but both
individuals and applications may want the ability to tweak them.
