Take web pages and their images: the primary use case is to show images embedded in web pages in a browser; this is the application. One can argue that web pages should be bookmarkable as steady states, and that images (not a typical steady state) need not be bookmarkable. But the bookmarkability of images is what made Google's image search possible, and is an example of serendipitous reuse not envisioned by the original authors of web pages. -- -mogsie-
