One use I see, which I think is valid, is for aggregation.
Pull data from several sources (XML files, XML database, JDBC connection),
and if they are all XML document fragments, it's fairly easy to glue them
together and present them to the client in a unifying whole.
Used with XInclude, I could see it being a fairly powerful idiom
for aggregation.
