I do not completely know all the features of digits. But table has a numerical columns n and q, see http://www.tug.org/TUGboat/Articles/tb29-1/tb91mahajan.pdf. There are also \HC (hook column) which can do certain things. Can you give an example of a table (placing \digit commands by hand)? > is > there a particular reason why the \NN command is defined in 'tabulate' and > not in 'table'? 'table' is just a wrapper around TaBlE macros, and due to the syntax sugar of ConTeXt, some of the features of the original TaBlE macros are lost. (Though I do not know if \digits thing is possible with the original TaBlE macros or not) > Would it be hard to add it in 'table'? I believe so. The TaBlE code is *very* old, written at a time when TeX was limited in terms of features and memory. Tabluate are more recenlt relatively, and written from scratch by Hans. Actually, if you request for features of table that are missing in tabulate, that might be easier to implement.
