One example where it would be useful: I'm trying to troubleshoot a problem with a currently authorized user. The same token and secret are pulled from Twitter each time during the oAuth process, but any calls to the Twitter API respond with "unauthorized."
I asked the user to revoke access to my app so that she can start with a fresh token. It would have been better if I could have revoked the access for her. I'd then be able to simply ask her to login to the app again.
