The idea is that its used for data-mining; so its just as important as 
'username' for example.
If (in OOo) a document is created using mailmerge then the original 
filename or document name could be stored in this value; for example.

It really is about finding all faxes or all presentations which use the 
KDE base-layout, or all documents that use 'corporate style 2004' etc.

So; IMO it is something that should go into the standard for all 
applications to support.  That is; assuming more than KOffice has the 
concept of basing the new document on an existing template.  OOo does 
have that feature, right?
