Yet this is exactly what my 2 year old car does now. I halt at the lights and the engine powers off.

In my understanding there never was much of a difference between halt and poweroff.I'm not quite clear what you are saying, but if you are saying that there is not give much difference in the English meaning of the words poweroff and halt, then I must take issue with you. Halt simply means stop. Poweroff means turn the power off. A big difference in the words. Think of a car at traffic lights. You stop it: halt it. You do not power off, i.e. turn the engine off. (Unless you accidentally stall it!) Given enough usage, a bug can become a feature. Iain Lisi |
