One little gotcha with keeping the AP on all the way to 20kts or whatever on the 320 is that 45-50 seconds after touchdown, the FMGC goes into the Done phase, so the localizer freq drops out. You would need to manually tune the loc to prevent that from happening.

Just something to keep in mind for those who are hellbent on keeping the automation on a tad longer than most...
