I can't think of a useful case, but I suspect one might exist. Also, I think people are familiar with the concept of sleep timers and idle timeouts, so even if we merged the code, I think getting too smart with menu options might just confuse. > As for your suggestions, I don't quite agree with moving sleep timer out > of t&d into system.

The problem with the Time & Date menu (when it's in RTC mode) is it's burdened with the clock viewport at the top, limiting its use as a menu.
