I use it to produce correct ligatures/ kerning. I don't know the rules 
of other countries, but in german texts, you don't use ligatures for 
compound words. As LaTeX uses ligatures by default for ff, fi, fl, ffi, 
ffl (which is very nice), you have to tell it this cases. It happens 
often enough. Very common german examples are:

- Auf\/lage (Edition)
- auf\/fällig (conspicuous)
- Auf\/führung (performance)
- hilf\/los (helpless)
I think I could continue for hours...

Ah.. I noticed that the User Guide mentiones this too. See section 3.7.3

I think \emph has nothing to do here (?)
