Just found this:

http://support.microsoft.com/kb/326985

  Note that you do not have to register all services.
  Many service types,  such as HTTP, W3SVC, WWW, RPC,
  CIFS (file access), WINS, and  uninterruptible power
  supply (UPS), will map to a default service type named
  HOST. For example, if your client software uses an SPN
  of HTTP/webserver1.microsoft.com to perform an HTTP connection
  to the Web server on the webserver1.microsoft.com server,
  but this SPN is not registered on the server, the Windows
  2000 domain controller will automatically map it to
  HOST/webserver1.microsoft.com. This mapping applies only
  if the Web service is running under the local System account.
