As part of another activity, the requirement came up to allow the javascript in a browser to validate the whether an HTML document that had been received was actually the original document sent by the web server or whether it had been modified in transit (e.g. by some 'helpful' party that was doing ad insertion). Note that retreiving the document over TLS doesn't provide that guarantee due to the presence of TLS proxies. It isn't quite clear to me how to solve this problem, but it seems like a useful use case.
