Well, I added "cals:" to all tags for ConteXt purposes (<tbody>, <entry> become <cals:tbody>, <cals:entry>, etc.). I examined what Hans' example tables look like.

After the changes, the structure was still that of a cals table, the word cals had been added to each tag, but after this adapation to some particular ConTeXt requirements, the tables in fact could not be called cals tables anymore. The file did no longer comply with the docbook dtd. I didn't mind that much.

Predictably, though, my docbook editing software started complaining. The tables were not rendered in the preview anymore. This was a relatively minor problem.

I don't know whether Aditya's suggestion would have helped.
