Why not?  The fact that it's temporary doesn't necessarily mean it
cannot be used interactively.  For example, I could imagine some
specialized mode that pops up a temporary buffer where the user is
supposed to type some text that the mode then uses.  Some VC-related
feature could, for example, ask for a comment or descriptive text that
way.
