CPU power-state locks are part of the motivation for the generic requestWakeLock() API. But maybe I misunderstand your meaning.

There's a wifi lock [1]. I'm not sure if there's an cellular antenna lock but the same concept applies. IMHO having a uniform interface around power-state locks is preferable to than sticking them on particular sub-APIs (navigator.wifi.requestWakeLock, e.g.).
