Re: Use Cases

I'm finding that my biggest use case for a Web description format (at  
the risk of repeating myself) is at design time; architects and  
developers need something that encourages them to think in terms of  
stateful resources, and a common documentation format is immensely  
helpful.

There are other cases -- e.g., generating stubs, hinting  
configuration, etc., but I think that's the big one.
