I also was confused in the beginning. As far as I understand there are 
two kinds of usecases:

1. Usecases that are refered through yanel.resource.usecase=XXX request 
parameter. These include for instance "delete" (or corresponds to 
DeletableV2).

2. Usecases that are part of the usecase framework by Josias:) There are 
resources that extend UsecaseResource which is actually an enhanced 
BasicXMLResource that allows nicer control on view descriptors. So to 
this kind of usecases you refer through yanel.resource.viewid=XXX 
request parameter.

Anyway, this ambiguity is not a very pleasant thing to have...
