That may mean that you want it under the table just like the captions for images are laid out in your document. It would be nice to have means in CSS to be able to easily position an object relative to another object. Positioning with flow becomes complicated with several objects (when you don't want to structure mark-up according to layout needs). Or maybe I just haven't found the right example of how to do it.
