doc-literal v/s rpc-encoded

I was trying to think of the use cases where one would prefer
 to use document-literal over rpc encoded and drew a blank.

 Can anyone highlight why an application would choose
 document-literal or rpc-literal as the message format ?

 What would such a use case look like ?

Thanks
