[CONNECT C++] EditElemenatHandle and ApplyTransform()

In making the switch to using the new MicroStation API (EditElementHandle), it seems the examples that I have seen (and have used) all did something like this to apply a transform:

Transform   tMatrix;
...
TransformInfo   tInfo(tMatrix);
eeh.GetHandler(MISSING_HANDLER_PERMISSION_Transform).ApplyTransform(eeh,tinfo);
...

But I recently tried leaving out "MISSING_HANDLER_PERMISSION_Transform":

Transform   tMatrix;
...
TransformInfo   tInfo(tMatrix);
eeh.GetHandler().ApplyTransform(eeh,tinfo);
...

and things seemed to work as I wanted. So, what is the significance of supplying/not supplying that argument?
