Hello Christian,

The proper way to center a table is to wrap it into a table-and-caption 
with text-align="center". See "6.7.2 fo:table-and-caption 
[http://www.w3.org/TR/xsl/slice6.html#fo_table-and-caption]".
The spec says "The children of the areas generated by the 
fo:table-and-caption are one or two areas; one for the table caption and 
one for the table itself. These are positioned relative to each other as 
specified by the caption-side trait. They are placed relative to the 
content-rectangle of the generated area as specified by the text-align 
trait."

Currently, XEP does not support this special meaning of @text-align, but 
the next generation of RenderX products will support it.
