If I understand Kim correctly, then simple tables where the first
column contains a caption for the row would be an example where it
would matter.

       __   __
  /\  |__) /     ABC
 /__\ |  \ |     ABC
/    \|__/ \__   ABC


as opposed to:

       __   __
  /\  |__) /     
 /__\ |  \ |     
/    \|__/ \__   ABC
                 ABC
                 ABC
