The important part of this processing is the fact that mxipupdates always overwrite existing registry entries. It's very helpful for settings that seem to get overwritten by the ROM when other registry changes don't seem to help.
Actually, thats not quite right either. From MSDN article found here -> http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/bb737254.aspx

  • Cold boot files that will be processed by Configuration Manager only when the device is cold booted. The provisioning file name must have one of the following formats:
    mxipcold_<package name>_<version>.provxml
    or
    mxip_<package name>_<version>.provxml
    where <package name> is the name of Image Update package.
    These files should contain settings that you intend to be applied only during cold boot.
  • Update files that will be processed by Configuration Manager both when the device is cold booted and, if their associated packages have been updated, during Image Update. The provisioning file name must have the following format:
    mxipupdate_<package name>_<version>.provxml
    All settings contained in these files will be reapplied whenever their associated packages are updated, regardless of whether they have or have not changed. Therefore, these files should only contain settings that you intend to be reapplied every time their packages are updated.
So mxipupdate applies on cold-boot and after an image update, which no carrier does. So for the sake of simplicity, they act the same for us either way.
