Admittedly, I don't think many people would use it in the real world for the examples that I gave.
However, the main use that I have in mind is with a custom script host application shell that combines a win32 application with an embedded internet explorer HTML control. This would be something a bit like PHP-GTK in that it's an event driven windowed application, but also a bit like "traditional" PHP in that PHP can still generate and spit out the documents to the browser, but without the network transfer. Using an ActiveScript sapi allows anyone to embed PHP into their application either by implementing the host interfaces themselves, or by dropping the MS Scriplet control into their application. It's a bit easier than writing an ISAPI server implementation for your app, just so that you can load PHP and all it's extensions :-) --Wez.
