I don't think so :-)
Yesterday I had a try with my windows laptop. Here you can see how it 
works: http://i43.tinypic.com/2n20778.png
You can set the "low battery" level as a lower bound, so you have a 
low_battery - full_battery interval where you can freely "place" a time 
point, on different basis, which start the shutdown procedure. That's 
what I'd call freedom of choice, I can choose what event should trigger 
the shutdown and when (without recurring to external utilities), you 
just have not to be in low battery yet. It is something important that 
many software already have.
Moreover I'd like to choose, in this low_battery - full battery range, 
when to powerdown different systems, still on different basis.
However, the solution you wrote about is fine, so let's wait for 
implementation.

Yes, I know.
Thank you again, but I have read every single piece of documentation 
aviable, I'm just waiting for the features I need ;-)
