Instructional Video Table of Contents (YouTube)

Today I found this link to the  YouTube Iframe API Reference.  I find this interesting because I think that adding something like a table of contents to a video could be super helpful when if you want to reference the video. For example with instructional videos, a table of contents could provide an overview of video segments you might be interested in. It would let you quickly jump around instead of manually searching the video to find the point that you are interested in.
I used to go to user group meetings to find out the latest and greatest in programming and software development.  I could see this API being used after the video is filmed and adding click points.  I always want to tell friends about something that I learned at a presentation, and with the content links I could share the exact point where I liked the content.
I can imagine if video place markers were sharable then we might have metrics where we can see what points of a video are getting the most interest and shares.
