This answer is a correction to my comment above. In the notesthese notes from Marshall Cohen's course (from Spring 2001), he uses the Klee trick to give a simple proof that if $f, g: X \to S^n$ are non-surjective embeddings with $X$ compact, then the integral homology of $S^n - f(X)$ is the same as that of $S^n - g(X)$. From this he gave simple deductions of Invariance of Domain (showing that $\mathbb{R^k}$ does not embed into $\mathbb{R^n}$ if $k>n$ and the Jordan-Brouwer separation theorem for embeddings of $S^{n-1}$ into $S^n$.
