    I agree with the leather apron theory. I am in the process of
    designing a bench and saw a friends bench that had the cut-out. Under
    that cut out was a leather apron-catch.  When I saw that apron below
    the cut out it dawned on me that that must be where the cutout
    originated.  Just a guess, but I think a educated one.  In terms of
    practicality and functionality, I think it's a personal preference. 
    By the way, his bench was definately fashioned after the European
    old-style benches an was a work of art in itself.
