Seems to me that one could say that the metallized look shouldn't be used in a Document application and that sheets shouldn't be used on a metallized window. If they were so-inclined, Apple could control this by disabling sheets on metallized windows and preventing the metallized display on document windows. (Of course, someone would be offended by this!)
Regarding games, I think a game like the old puzzle would make sense in a metallized window and a floating metallized controller like the Video Player has a place in an application which takes over the entire screen.
I like the look of metal windows and I feel that something like a metal calculator can really stand out on a screen loaded up with a lot of windows. However, putting up too much scrap metal would make the screen look like a junkyard!
I would be nice if Apple provided a nice collection of buttons and other controls to use in a metalized window before everyone writes their own and completely fragments this alternate UI.

Just my $.02
