Special pages such as watchlist and recent changes present structured information - date, user, page title, edit summary, tools (rollback etc.). This would be served well by a tabular format. It is good for any language, but will be particularly useful for mixing LTR and RTL text, because every part of the data can have its directionality set on the cell level, so, for example, RTL characters in the page title won't be able to screw up the display of the date or of the username, as it often happens.
