Web Services description (not only WSDL, but WS-Splat).  Often used for 
identifying things like protocols, algorithms, styles, and such.  Policies, 
features, properties.  Anywhere where there's an initial list of enumerated 
values which is supposed to be open-ended/extensible.

Also, TAG tends to ask any WG using QNames why they can't use URIs instead 
(I always somehow read these sorts of missives in the tone of voice of a 
six-year old saying "but I *want* a cookie!  Why can't I have a *cookie*?" 
but s/cookie/URI/g).  It's that whole universal-versus-uniform thing, I 
think.
