I'm curious if there are any examples of using this functionality?

I am thinking it might be a fit where I need to security trim some terms for tagging documents..

What if I create a list to be used for lookups? I configure role based folders inside with the terms that are available for each role and apply security...

Is the CSOM content provider able to function as a web service that populates a drop down in an InfoPath form?

Or am I way off base here?

Thanks,
Doug
