That is my vision about it. For example: someone writes an extension and 
publishes it but, there is still no documentation. So he goes to the 
demo site and installs a minimal sample available for everyone to see.
Another posibility: demo.typo3.org/tt_news/ordinary, 
demo.typo3.org/tt_news/with_cheese, demo.typo3.org/tt_news/with_onion... 
In other words demonstrating different capabilities of existing large 
extensions.

I think it would be much more helpful if someone asked: "How do I setup 
news to show category a news in main content cell and category b news in 
right column under the menu?", and you send him to 
demo.typo3.org/tt_news/content_and_right where he can see both the setup 
and the looks of it AND play with it. That would be far more helpful 
than 100 lines of great ts code. At least I think so...
