You are correct - and it would (ultimately) be nice to have the GTA01 in 
a suspended state such that it could wake up from GSM, and other 
low-power modes.

However, that's not the operational mode I'm of which I'm speaking.  
Technically, if your laptop was left in a state where it could wake-on 
bluetooth, it would be in violation of the rules regarding electronic 
equipment during take-off and landing on aircraft, and I believe that 
bluetooth would also be in violation of the rules regarding radio 
devices in blast zones.
