Your analisys is correct. In 1.2.0 the table will search if it is inside a
float table or not, and from there decide between table or informaltable.
I take this oportunity to ask everyone that uses lyx-docbook to comment
what they like most and what is missing. I would like to have the docbook
support at the same level as we have the latex support, and for that I would
like to have feedback from the users. :-)
