These are just labels, and more than that they are just the labels that
first occurred to Dan and I.  Semantically they are used to name data,
and I can understand your "dirty" feeling of having results without a
related code block, but rest assured, Babel does not assume that there
should exist such a code block and this sort of usage is both supported
and intended.

To emphasize this point, I've just pushed up a change so that you can
now label such inline data with

#+data: my-named-data
: 3

and more importantly you can add your own labels by customizing the new
`org-babel-data-names' variable.

Note: if you update the `org-babel-data-names' variable you might want
to later run the following code...

(setq org-babel-result-regexp
  (concat "^[ \t]*#\\+"
          (regexp-opt org-babel-data-names)
          "\\(\\[\\([[:alnum:]]+\\)\\]\\)?\\:[ \t]*"))
