It reports the currently open document to kamd (K Activity Manager Daemon). 

- kamd saves the events (it is configurable whether the events are saved at all, and for which applications, see [1,2] - unlike KRecentDocs);
- the documents get an automatically calculated score (similar to what amarok does) based on the usage;

Side-effects (some screenshots available above in the comments to Jan):

 - documents opened in okular will pop up in the recent documents of kicker (soon, kickoff will also switch to kamd-powered recent documents);
 - the share applet will know what is the current document, and you'll be able to send it to somebody, post to facebook and similar ...;
 - right-clicking okular in the taskbar or kicker (in future kickoff as well) will show the recent documents;
 - for people that actually use activities, all this is on per-activity basis, so the recent documents, most used documents etc. are different in different activities;
 
Future:

 - there is no session management on Wayland, this information will be used to restore the previously open documents when a session needs to be restored (I, personally, do not use sessions, but it seems that a lot of people do);
 - possible document grouping based on the data of which documents were used with one another.
 - showing the currently open documents in the tasks applet (either in the context menu like the recent documents, or in a fully document-based tasks alternative applet)
