Well, you can set it at runtime, it just won't do what you might expect. That doesn't mean that it may not be useful to be able to set it at runtime. If, for example, you have register_globals off and you write an auto-prepend script, or even just a normal snippet of code that you insert into some other app at the beginning that emulates register_globals, then you may want to set register_globals = on at runtime so that any subsequent checks by the app will behave correctly.
