Rich Mogull from TidBITS has written an article about Gatekeeper. He's a 
smart and well-informed guy, so I'd expect his explanation to be accurate.

"In the middle setting, you can also install applications from 
identified developers. This code isn’t reviewed or sandboxed, but it is 
code-signed to eliminate the possibility of tampering after the fact. 
Since Apple Developer IDs tie back to a registered member of the Apple 
Developer Program, there is also some attribution if a malicious 
application is issued, and, once it has been discovered, Apple can 
immediately blacklist that digital certificate to protect the rest of 
the user population."
