    Hmm... just digging around - another possible option seems to be setting the clock speed to 32khz (apparently uses 11uA?!).

    Once the SERIN reaches timeout, it branches to a tight loop:

    1. turn everything off
    2. set OSCCON = 0 for 32khz clock speed
    3. NAP 0 sleep for ~18 ms
    3. check if 'turn on' pin is high (e.g. from touch sensitive transisor circuit)
    4. if on, turn everything back on and goto main routine
    5. else loop back to #1

    Seem reasonable?
