Given the name of the section where this is all discussed I'm having
trouble going with a different word. But better framing and phrasing I can
do:

A table may be opted out of certain storage aspects of reliability, as
described [here], by specifying either of the alternate persistence modes:
[temporary] or [logged]. The specific trade-offs and implications are
detailed below.
