Solution 1:

The details about this have been discussed at the Ubuntu Developer Summit. The blueprint with the information is available here.

Solution 2:

For a short summary from Unity’s Technical Lead Neil Patel interview with OMG!Ubuntu!.

Will Unity for Netbook Edition be any different to Unity for Desktop Edition come Natty?

Yeah, all the things which we will change for the Desktop edition will automatically switch back to netbook-style when we detect a netbook. This will obviously need some good testing, and I’m leaning towards making it an option (autodetect / desktop / netbook) in case people want to use Desktop on netbook or vice versa.
