[Koha] MARC 21 framework versus UNIMARC

I wrote and FAQ for this:
http://koha.org/documentation/faq/why-is-my-system-using-unimarc-templates/view

But I have an additional question ... what does the marcflavor do?  I
know what it says here:
vhttp://koha.org/documentation/manual/3.2/administration/global-system-preferences/cataloging/cataloging#marcflavour

But should I add more to the manual to explain that this is not all
you have to change to change your marc flavor?
