5% or less Oat Malt in pale beers

[EyePeeA]

What does using 5% or less Oat Malt accomplish in the paler style of beers? I've already guessed a foamier, more stable head, but anything else?

Anyone ever done this?

I'm fairly sure I've seen malted oats used in this way in some British forum. Same with rolled barley for head stability.

I just brewed an ABA with 12 oz. of flaked oats. Hoping it adds a silky feel to the mouth or smoothness.
