The template keys of starttable and starttabulate are the same (as in most 
cases, you can find additional examples in the source code (core-tab.tex, 
core-ntb.tex, core-tbl.tex)); some day soon i will reimplement the TaBlE 
based package since i've now patched quite a lot and i need a better low 
level implementation for proper color support.

You can also take a look at the bTABLE method
