While that's true, the intent of the "soft-power" switch was in fact
to let a normal user safely power off the system. THe system needs
to poll the status of the switch and at some point decide it's
time to power off the box. I don't think docs for "soft power"
have been published. I have passed necessary information to
a few folks who've signed NDAs.
