Recent kernels have been moving towards the (IMHO correct) approach of having ACPI and APM being drivers which register themselves as generic power management drivers (apm.c, acpi.c, pm.c). This progression implies to me that there needs to be a single userspace power management daemon, not apmd and acpid.
Also, we have a bunch of daemons which handle kernel suspend, resume, device attach, and device detach events. apmd, acpid, devfsd, pcmcia_cs, ...
Is it reasonable to cook up a single outlet to userspace for device state events like power states, attach, detach, etc.?
