There are also modifications to increase functionality.
For instance the crossing of the arms in an X shape before blocking is an awful habit. It is tactically unsound as it traps both hands. One need only get a hand on the outer hand and push it to the body and both hands are now locked up and the other person has a hand free.
Inner and outer forearm use should be determined on body position and technique that follows. I can't say why someone would change them though.
transition between stances ( if you mean foot work) can be stylistic, sliding movements, sliding crescent movements, or straight forward stepping) Each one has an idea behind it so it depends on what the instructor has decided be agrees with more. For instance I am opposed to sliding the foot for many reason, I prefer the fast stepping forward to the new stance.
