I'm not sure what you mean by s2both.

I'm talking about the Use Case in the spec that says: "A user puts the
computer to sleep on battery, but then forgets about it. The computer should
then go into a deeper power save state like hibernate."

Essentially the plan is to replace Suspend and Hibernate with one 'Sleep'
mode which initially suspends. Then after a certain amount of time of
suspending without being turned on again, it hibernates to save even more
power.

But not only that, the whole spec is brilliant, and it would be great to
have Ubuntu lead the way with this stuff.
