Is there any difference at all between

If not, then it should certainly be deprecated (and should have been
as soon as the current user rights system was implemented, really).
The first permits sysops to block in principle, the second - to block
registered users.
...because in the beginning, it wasn't possible for a sysop to block a
username. (That's why the block form is "Special:BlockIP" and not
"Special:Block". :-))
