Hi Michael,

right now I only have a dirty trick, and even that is untested.... :-(

(add-hook 'org-export-preprocess-hook
	  (lambda ()
	    (let (org-format-transports-properties-p)
	      (org-table-map-tables 'org-table-align))))

I will make a varaible for this, I think it would be useful to have,  
or even should be the default for ASCII export.....
