Canon Rebel/300D: Camera Owners Name in EXIF data

Archived from groups: rec.photo.digital (More info?)

Looking at the EXIF data for my Canon Rebel/300D images using the Canon File Viewer
utility (and others) I see my name listed under "Owner's Name" just above the
"Camera Body No".
I have no recollection of entering my name into the camera nor can I see any way to
do or change this in the camera's instruction book.
Does anyone have any clue how my name got there and what happens if I want to sell
the camera?
Then again, it may be referring to the owner of the image.
