What is the purpose of the ClientBin folder in Silverlight / ASP.NET?

Question

Mostly due to the relative function / URI problem in silverlight, am I considering migrating Silverlight.xap from ClientBin to the root of the website?

What I don't understand is the purpose of the ClientBin folder in the first place. Are there security restrictions on this folder (similar to why you should put perl scripts in cgi-bin).

Are there any debugging options for this folder?

Or is it just a predefined convention that can be changed (with some work) without any other branches?

ClientBin . .xap, .

<object data="data:application/x-silverlight-2,"
        type="application/x-silverlight-2" width="100%" height="100%">
    <param name="source" value="ClientBin/SilverlightApplication1.xap"/>
    <param name="onError" value="onSilverlightError" />
    <param name="background" value="white" />
    <param name="minRuntimeVersion" value="3.0.40624.0" />
    <param name="autoUpgrade" value="true" />
    <a href="http://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/?LinkID=149156&v=3.0.40624.0"
