Because it's served by the same organization that serves the web pages.  This is a fairly customary arrangement.

I'm not sure how it's more flexible to use the registrar's DNS services.  It's not like the registrar actually serves anything at all.  All they do is cause the TLD provider to insert NS records in the appropriate domain.  In this case, GoDaddy doesn't actually serve the org. TLD, they just instruct Afilias (with whom ICANN contracts to serve the .org domain) to insert NS records into the domain.

Someone has to now set up those NS servers to serve the actual data for the registered domain.  Who really does this doesn't matter, and having your registrar do it doesn't really gain you anything.  I, personally, just choose to serve my own DNS.  When you have a full server out on the Internet, it's not that hard.  I just have "reciprocal arrangements" with buddies out on the net to cross-serve our domains for secondaries.

Either way, I'm working on this with the appropriate folks.  I'm hoping that I can have a DNS name established in the next few days.  I'll keep the group up to date.
