6500 "firewall vlan-group" VS. "svclc vlan-group"

I am trying to find out if there is a difference between the "firewall vlan-group" command and the "svclc vlan-group" command. I have found docs on CCO that imply that you use the "firewall vlan-group" command to assign VLANs to an FWSM but you use "svclc vlan-group" to assign them to an ACE. I have other docs (like an FWSM/ACE design guide) that actually use the "svclc vlan-group" command for both. I built what is currently a tier 1 production architecture using 3 different svclc groups. One for the FWSM only One for the ACE only, and one for VLANs shared between the two modules. It is working fine and I have had no issues whatsoever. The interesting thing is, over the past 6 months or so, on various TAC cases and SE discusssions, I've been told both that I am wrong for not using the "firewall vlan-group" command and that I'm not wrong. I can't find anything (or anyone) that can help me understand if there is actually some kind of difference between the commands. Just opinions. Does anyone have any insight into this?

Firewall vlan-group command is used for assign VLANs to a firewall group

http://www.cisco.com/en/US/docs/security/fwsm/fwsm32/command/reference/ef.html#wp1639443

But to assign VLANs to a group using Cisco IOS software on the supervisor engine, use the svclc vlan-group command.
