Hi Hans, When I first saw these I asked about them and was told not to get excited as they probably wouldn't exist for too long! I think they were designed to be part of some particular function under development. Anyway that was a while ago and they are still there so perhaps they will be more permanent. I can ask again if you like.
Did you have any particular application in mind? I remember some of the pro services team thought about it but couldn't come up with many good examples of what we could do with them.
