IMHO a better name for "all" would be "global". See http://thread.gmane.org/gmane.linux.network/182279/focus=186917 for a thread with a report of the same issue.
In short, "default" is used to initialize the settings for new devices, and when I looked into that "all" was only used for configuring if ip forwarding is enabled.
