Well, if I understand correctly, say you mount something to some directory but later find that you want it elsewhere (ie. you mount a cd to /mnt/floppy out of haste, but later correct yourself by --bind'ing it to /mnt/cdrom). It's merely a convenience thing cause stuff might be running on the mounted partition preventing you from unmounting it to remount it elsewhere. That's MY understanding.. but who knows?
