Lirian,

I believe you've come across an artifact left over from before Shash 
created the new Registration Domain stuff.  So the short answer would be 
probably nothing for a default domain. :)  I took a quick load at the 
DefaultUserInfo code just in case that it read the setup table value for if 
you manually added a person but I don't see any connection.

Hope this answers your question,
