It's possible that this information is ill suited for a reference manual, and belongs in a guide instead.  Regardless, despite this draft's limitations, it's an improvement over the current state of things, and with a few improvements I'll happily sign off on it.

I will attempt to be more specific about the purpose of TableGen. I don't think I can list "all" the uses of it, however, since it is a general-purpose tool.

I will address your other points and resubmit in the next few days. Thanks for the critique.
