As written, it probably would never be used. But it might be used in more complex scenarios to know when to try contacting the server to update local state, for example in a Web-based document editor. In the spec though it's just an example of using the <body> element.

Let me know (by reopening the bug) if that's not sufficient explanation. Thanks.
