Unless someone has the time to give the showcase application a full redesign, having small focused examples around sounds reasonable to me. Martin's valid concerns about quality assurance should indeed be well addressed by having Selenium or WebDriver tests around - which would be a good demonstration by itself on how to develop robust web applications. We could easily establish a "no release without integration / automated acceptance tests" policy for such example projects.
