Here's a use case that hasn't been previously mentioned:
* Include "bindings" in the style of XBL, XBL2 or Windows HTCs inline
in a text/html document, much as scripts and stylesheets can be
included inline.
I'm not sure this is very strong (external files only for bindings in
text/html doesn't seem like a huge problem) but XBL2 can be supported
inline in application/xhtml+xml, so presumably this isn't considered
completely pointless. I can imagine this being handy during
exploratory programming, or in cases where it's desirable to deliver
as much as possible in a single resource so everything goes inline in
the HTML.
