The question here is: what does "compatible" mean? Compatible with what?
Now that you added the hack to Worg, it might be better to say:
"One can also take advantage of this option to pass other, unrelated options
into the figure or table environment (see
[[http://orgmode.org/worg/org-hacks.html#sec-1_6_1][here]] for an example.)"
or something like that.

Otherwise, this looks good to me.
