APM.XDD would actually be an "Advanced Power Management" module that
would cover all APM schemas available currently, including ARAnyM and
CT60 - that was my original thought.

so what you mean is a bunch of APM flavors, one APM module for each
platform. Isn't this a maintenance nightmare for EasyMiNT-like
distributions? I am not against that, just trying to imagine how it
would work out.

Sure. I think the XDD way is the most reasonable one and makes everyone
happy. I am just curious whether APM-<HWplatformName>.XDD is the way to
go.
