No, it's not. Out-of-date means that there is a new version available
from upstream.
Unfortunately some people regularly misuse this button as their own bug
tracker if a package has a bug, e.g. it can't be built anymore for some
reasons.
And some people think that there must come out a new version of this
PKGBUILD (with an incremented $pkgrel) to have this bug fixed, so they
think a package with a bug is an outdated package.
This is totally wrong. Out-of-date means and only means that there's a
new version available from upstream. The comments are for reporting
bugs.
And sometimes people flag a package as out-of-date, write a comment
that there's a new version out while absolutely no new version can't be
found on upstream's website.

Unflagged it as out-of-date, since at least on the website given in the
AUR I can't find a newer stable release, too.

Wouldn't xfce4-battery-plugin be the "newer version"? (or possible
xfce4-power-manager).
Also, "hal" is missing from the depends in any case. (I'd fix it, but I
think it's worth deletion).
Deletion request (?): libxfce4menu-devel, xfce4-notifyd-devel 0.2.1-1
