When I looked over this pending Microsoft patent, I couldn't see where it would be used. Does anyone have some ideas of the application of this particular patent?

So what does the W3C Patent Advisory Group (including its two Microsoft members), think of Microsoft's patent application for 'Displaying Plug-in Supplied Content in a Browser-Embedded Window', which the USPTO made public earlier this month?
