Setting the URL of your public key is certainly useful. To use the private keys on your smartcard, the associated public key must be in your keyring. If you've set a URL for your public key, then on any computer you can simply use the 'fetch' command in --card-edit to retrieve the public part and make your keys usable. The other info is mostly unnecessary. It's not used by GnuPG, and the most relevant part (the cardholder's name) can be discovered just as easily by fetching the public key anyway!
