See yesterdays mail from the mod_speed project. They want to user serf on an intermediate server to fetch the response from a server using serf and then send it out to clients after some filtering.
They currently maintain a local patch to support this usecase. I agree that I don't see a good reason for final clients, but I think it is useful to support this usecase.
