The obvious example to me is where you have:

<title>Site Name: Page Heading</title>
<h1>Page Heading</h1>

I mentioned before that I believe the benefit of this is that it allows for
better control of search engine listings and bookmark lists as the site the
page is from is immediately identified, but the page is not cluttered with
the site name. Better usability is possible.
