I'm sure it will be back once more pressing matters are fixed.

Yes, the alternative method is for rbphdmi to toggle the HDMI status (via @bin.tvservice as outlined previously) but when enabling HDMI it also requires xbmc.bin to be restarted so yes, remove the 10 second delay.

Whatever you add to the bin.tvservice script for extra CEC control should hopefully work with or without virtual suspend, so carry on.

(might have to see about building my own xbmc with virtual suspend....(that'll be a learning curve and a half!))

Several issues were reported in the Raspbmc and OpenELEC test threads - inability to power off or reboot, some cases of HDMI switching off while playing back a video, also breaking CEC control.
