The trick I always use, which assumes use with a microcontroller, is
to interrupt with one line and check the state of the other line in the
ISR. That works nicely. But pulses on one or the other of two lines
would make a really nice drive mechanism for tap-up/tap-down-interface
digipots.
It was ED, not EDN (whoops), but here's the article:

I love those things--like the one that allows you to drive a chain of
LEDs with only a single I/O on an MCU.
