Don't know about "supported", but failing to sleep when the laptop is
closed can be a major problem (I only experienced the milder versions,
like finding my laptop with an empty battery, or my backpack all dirty
with melted chocolate, but overheating can be a serious issue).

[ Of course, it can also be useful, when the laptop is docked into
  a keyboard+screen station, or when you want to use it as a headless
  server.  ]
