What is the use case for 0.0.0.0

Just in case you want to do nothing, nowhere in particular.

0.0.0.0 binds to all addresses on the machine for servers, but I don't know what a browser would do when trying to resolve it. I guess look at all addresses on the machine and see if anything has bound to the indicated port on that address? First one it finds wins?
