Benefits of XML character data outside of tag

This question is based on my previous one.

I belive we are all used that data in xml is located between tags, like:

<root>
  <tag>useful text</tag>
</root>

But following xml is also valid:

<root>
  <tag>useful text</tag> more text
</root>

Usually you don't see this too often in real life. Can you please give me several examples of usage and benefits which this xml's feature gives?

Without this things such as XHTML wouldn't be possible.

A complete valid XHTML example:

 <!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Transitional//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-transitional.dtd">
 <html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml" xml:lang="en" lang="en">
   <head><title>Zebra</title></head>
   <body>
     <div><h1><em>useful</em> text more text</h1></div>
   </body>
 </html>
