The docs say, "The intention is to simplify the use of materials 
designed for non-radiosity scenes in scenes with radiosity, or the 
design of scenes that can be rendered with or without radiosity."

I don't think this is the primary reason to use emission. I think that 
emission is supposed to be used for glowing objects. The wording makes 
it seem like it is just a hack to retain old behavior from POV 3.6. This 
is what threw the developer off in the thread I linked to.
