 I don’t have a solution for this, but I wanted to mention that there’s the 
opposite issue in LaTeX output: Because it uses `longtable` for tables (and 
understandably this is a good default solution in many cases), LaTeX tables 
produced by pandoc _don’t_ float. This strips LaTeX output of one of its 
central features that make it superior when compared to Word etc.

I tried to add floating tables with a custom filter, but that basically 
means re-constructing the complete LaTeX code that a table can contain 
within the filter.

So while I don’t have an easy solution, I agree that a bit more control 
over table rendering/positioning in ConTeXt and LaTeX would be much 
appreciated.
