I had a quick look at table.el

It exports only a tabular command, not a table. Is there a way to make org wrap the 

\begin{tabular}
\end{tabular}

into a regular

\begin{table}
\end{table}

This would be perfectly correct latex, and keep the export mechanism, neatly separated

Cheers

Export of table.el tables is not handled by Org, but by "table.el"
library. In other words, Org keywords are expected to work only on Org
tables.
