Is this the internal term for 10.8's "Power Nap"? My understanding was that only certain Apple apps like Mail are allowed to run in this state, not 3rd party apps; but if that's not true, I'd love to learn how. ("Power Nap" doesn't turn up anything in the 10.8 docs either.)

I *think* I understand that the system can put apps of its choice into that mode (audio and console powered down, all else running). My concern is as described -- what will NSSpeechSynthesizer do when my app is placed in that state outside of my control.

Take a look at the 2012 WWDC video on Power Management. It explains DarkWake, as well as power assertions which can be used to prevent the Mac from sleeping while your app is doing something. (Sorry, I don't know the answer to your original question.)
