Here an example as minimal as I could construct.

The spaces in the output are produced by the spaces between the tags (\xmlstrip doesn’t seem to work)
and you have to use a combination of \removeunwantedspaces and \ignorespaces to remove them.

To center your table this isn’t necessary when you replace \midaligned with a framedtext
environment in combination with “location=middle” or use a float command like \placefigure.


I think I can reduce the number of places where spaces have to be suppressed. With just 2 \removeunwantedspaces and 1 \ignorespaces I get rid of most of them. The \framed[offset=0pt] shows where spurious space is still inserted.

Only 1 space remains inside the framed: in the vertical dimension below the table. Any idea where this comes from? Some parameter to change in the \framerd perhaps?

Of course I would be happier if none of these space-suppressing is necessary in my code, because ConTeXt takes care of them.
