Yeah, but as long as the question got asked, here are the kinds of things I 
try to answer with a use case:


Scenario:

    What is it that someone wants to do, that they cannot current do.  This is 
a non-technical, user-level description.  Probably no acronyms and certainly 
no implementation choices.  (User-level can refer to end-users, sysadmin, or 
anyone else that is the consumer of the service.)


Problem:

    What prevents using existing tools for accomplishing this?


Market:

    Who needs this and should we believe they need it immediately?
