't' for programs (e.g. /bin/sh) prevents them from being unloaded from 
memory (although the code pages may still be swapped out). 't' for 
directories is comparatively new and as you point out stops you from 
deleting files that you don't have access to. Another obvious use for 
't' is for your /tmp or equivalent.
