How is the RoutedCommand.Name property used?

The RoutedCommand class has a Name property that can be set in the contructor. MSDN has this to say about RoutedCommand.Name:

This property can be used when referencing a RoutedCommand in XAML.

However, I can't seem to find information on how to do this. Currently, my commands are referenced in XAML like this:

Command="{x:Static someNamespace:Commands.SomeCommand}"

This does does not refer to the command by its Name property, and works whether or not you set Name.

What is the purpose of RoutedCommand.Name, and how can it be used?

RoutedCommand.Name literally serves a name of RoutedCommand to bind with DependencyPropery of some UIElement, usually MenuItem or Button.

Please, refer to the XAML code below, where ApplicationCommands class is included in System.Windows.Input namespace(PresentationCore.dll).

<Button Command="{x:Static ApplicationCommands.Open}" 
    Content="{Binding Source={x:Static ApplicationCommands.Open}, Path=Name}"/>
