The two use cases where this is likely to appear in the short term are:

1. web push - where an encrypted resource is created on a server by
one entity and retrieved by another.  The server doesn't get to see
the contents.

2. blind caching - the same as in web push actually.  An origin server
uses an untrusted cache and wants to encrypt data so that the cache
can't modify or view the content.
