The flag is used:

- in "sliding" functions (to stop the sliding),
- typolink uses it to stop looking for a domain record.
- also it is used by the page-tree (in BE) to put the "domain name" 
besides the page title in case options.pageTree.showDomainNameWithTitle 
is set.
- for TCA methods that can substitute the marker "###SITEROOT###", this 
is the flag that is checked for this.

AFAIK these are the only parts where is_siteroot is used, besides the 
mentioned RealURL part.
