Sylvain,
My main use case:
display:run-in allows for a classic use of typographic headers from the
print world while maintaining the integrity of content flow within the
document.
h2 {display: run-in; text-transform: uppercase;}
<h1>Welcome!</h1>
<p>blah blah.</p>

The presentation would be:
Welcome!
blah blah.
NEWS OF THE DAY: Today, Sylvain a lot of cabbage and it gave him a tummy
ache.
