Ciao Mohammad & Springer Interesting thread. I like the concrete examples. Mohammad's use case in particular I find very interesting.
This is a thread that some parts of would make the basis for a fine *Permanent Article*. Would need a few illustrations or links to wikis, but basically its highly illustrative of use cases in a great way.
