10,000 ft sounds like a standard number used for rotating hard drives and just got tossed in without much further thought even though the IPad has a solid state drive. There is no high voltage used anywhere in the IPad, not even the back light which is LED.
 
Has anyone identified how much additional battery life can be had by exercising all the previously mentioned techniques ?

Maybe.

but that 10,000 spec has to accommodate the processor maxed out under the worst possible load (video playback?).
Meanwhile the ipad obviously has very aggressive power management and all I'm doing most of the time is running the backlight looking at the map.   I can say that in that usage model the ipad is WAY cooler than my macbook pro.
I'm not expecting any problems but I will bring backups for a while.
