The demand to use the table types seems low... closing for now

[peterjc]

Can we reopen this?

Cross reference #903 about inconsistent checking that a table type is provided, and #756 asking for examples of the different types.

[wasade]

Sure, although these labels are still generic without a clear way (to me at least) on how to constrain the feature label space so I don't foresee an impact on validation

[peterjc]

Sure, but examples/descriptions would never the less be useful.
