"let's put it all on the table" - I would like for you and I to be completely honest with each other, even if I don't like what you are about to say.
"let's table that" - I would like for you to remember what you wanted to say, but please don't say it now. Also, talk to me later in a separate discussion if what you wanted to say is still relevant.
"it's off the table" - That particular item/thought is no longer relevant to the discussion, please ignore it.
"clear the table" - Please get ready to discuss something entirely new of a higher priority. Or, I would like to start the same discussion over, but this time I have a better understanding of what I would like to communicate.
For me tabling has both meanings, depending on context, could mean schedule or postpone, depending on the context of the discussion.
