Essentially, as long as the registrardate <= registrydata, then all-is-good(tm) it's when they're the other way around that 'issues' can arise.

Is the real question not simply "why does anyone need to know" ? 

Registrant s/be relying on their Registrar
Everyone else doesn't matter as it's none of their business
