I'm sure you devs haven't had a chance to get to power management yet. Just FYI currently XBMC running keeps Windows from entering lower power states (S1,S3,S4).

But still you can archive what you want already with XBMC alone.

XBMC itself would probably have to detect an idle state then call hibernate or whatever you want it do.XBMC already has an idle timer that will shutdown or standby/hibernate the PC and it works. The only problem with XBMC doing this is the idle timer is only for it. If you are using another app and the timer kicks in it will still shutdown or standby/hibernate.
