Very good questions. They do mention:

> In order words: you can't edit the description of one inline struct without breaking compatibility.

and

> Tables: Tables can be used when backward compatibility matters. For example, tables can have new fields append at the bottom without breaking compatibility.

Otherwise, I agree it's rather unclear exactly what you can do with tables.
