The difference is in where the composed namespace appears.  If you mount
UFS over AFS, then you would cd to (for example) /afs/<foo>/mountpoint
and see the AFS stuff unioned with the UFS stuff.  If you mount AFS
under UFS, then the composed namespace appears under (for example)
/u1/<foo>/mountpoint.
