well, apparently nobody thinks it's a good idea..

I did think of another (more common) use for something like this.

I wonder if the light sensor could still be accessed when the keyboard is closed. if so It would be handy to have the backlight auto adjust based on how much light is around.
sunny=bright lcd
dim/dark = less bright lcd..

I have my brightness set 2 notches down from full when on battery, but at night this could easily be put down to less than half, thus saving precious juice.
