I think can guess the basic principals of that though, based on the things already said in this thread and simple logic just applied to fuel conservation.

To some extent, proper planning and proactive driving can lead you, in some cases, to be able to make a complete stop and restart without ever touching the vehicle's service or parking brakes. At times, if I know there is a stop ahead, and nobody is behind me that will be upset by my slow-going, I do exactly this, except I don't let the engine start jerking around on the last few revs anymore, as by this point, the vehicle should coast to a stop naturally, with regard to certain exceptions.
