Okay, I can understand that. (Actually, I kind of guessed this sometime after getting up from the computer).

It took a minute to play with it, and another visit to the org manual, but this seems to do what I wanted. Posting for the benefit of future archive searches. (The "multicolumn" is necessary for this article, where the conference specifies a two-column format. Maybe optional in other settings.)

#+CAPTION: A table
#+NAME: table1
#+ATTR_LaTeX: :float multicolumn
| Row 1 | Something      |
| Row 2 | Something else |
