Given that what I propose is still in the design phase/vaporware,
asking for examples may be premature .... yet here is one:
http://libx.org/libxess/cue.html shows what a possible application of
this technology might look like.

Also, keep in mind that what I'm proposing is not a new service that
libraries could deploy directly to their users -- rather, it's a piece
of infrastructure that would allow libraries to deploy services built
on this infrastructure to their users.

It's a bit of a chicken and an egg problem, except that we will go
ahead and provide an initial chicken (LibX) and an initial egg
(David's script.)
