difference between REGISTER_ALL_MSO_TYPES=0 and REGISTER_NO_MSO_TYPES=1?

Page has general description of REGISTER_ALL_MSO_TYPES, REGISTER_NO_MSO_TYPES but not what is the difference and how both could be used together. Something like this: if REGISTER_NO_MSO_TYPES=1 then installer would not register Collabora Office as default opener for MS Office file types; otherwise the code continues and checks for REGISTER_ALL_MSO_TYPES. If it's 1, then it registers all MS Office file formats. If it's 0, then it registers only those who do not have default opener.

Are TRANSFORMS and Locale IDs superceded by UI_LANGS ?

Are UI language selection using TRANSFORMS (e.g. TRANSFORMS=:1084) and also numeric Locale IDs (e.g. IS5146) now irrelevant and superseded by UI_LANGS from 3.5.5 onwards, perhaps they are for different things?
