It's funny that you've asked for use cases. I was going to ask you for
the same. It seems to me that a Greasemonkey script or a Firefox add-on
that connects to Internet Archive would be quick and powerful
alternative to building this into repository functionality. I can only
suppose that you're considering the use case to include pages related to
the existing content in a repository but am curious to know what you're
thinking.

Did you bookmark a page last year, and revisited it recently only to find that the current content isn't even remotely related to what caught your interest back then? ... Wouldn’t it be much easier if you could just connect to cnn.com, Wikipedia, or news.bbc.co.uk indicating that you are interested in the pages of March 20 2008, not the current ones? If you could activate a time machine in your browser or bot?" (http://www.mementoweb.org/)
