I think you've nailed it.

I was missing the "fixed structure, data-visible-to-only-inserting-session" part.

Now it makes more sense.

I'm taking the "no schema changes except under controlled cirumstances" part on faith. Would the prohibition be because letting somebody do a CEATE TABLE/DROP TABLE for temp tables mean that they could do the same thing with "real" tables?
