Is DAF developing a modern day "Topsleeper" ?

There's no mistaking this DAF model XF prototype at the company's Eindhoven factory with a "topsleeper" configuration, a DAF option many years ago.

But what would be the point in year 2015? Todays’ truck legislation doesn’t require such a solution.

I was thinking about this the other day, while noticing the number of mid-roof and flat-top trucks on the road with aerodynamic roof fairings that gave the truck the profile of a condo, but without the extra interior space a condo would've had. Why wouldn't the company just buy a damn condo? This company might have had the same thought...rather than just wasted space beneath an aerodynamic fairing, why not put the space to use? On a T/T setup, you'd still have the visibility of a daycab with the convenience of a sleeper.
