It could be used to display information associated with a buffer without having to overwrite the mode line. The mode line contains useful information that one might not want to hide. One use-case for this would be `list-packages', where the header line is already used for tabulation, but one might want to display extra information such as the number of installed packages. There exists third-party packages that adds such information to the mode line, but that risks hiding other information (depending on your customization, window width, etc.). I would propose to introduce a new variable `footer-line-format' in analogy with `header-line-format' for this.
