It's just a matter of emitting the \caption after the contents of the
table, rather than before:
,----
| \begin{table}[htb]
| \begin{center}
| \begin{tabular}{rr}
| ...
| \end{tabular}
| \end{center}
| \caption{Squares}
| \end{table}
`----
instead of
,----
| \begin{table}[htb]
| \caption{Squares}
| \begin{center}
| \begin{tabular}{rr}
| ...
| \end{tabular}
| \end{center}
| \end{table}
`----
The following patch (deliberately hidden as a binary octet-stream to keep it
out of patchwork) will do that - but IMO, it would be better to have yet another
user-settable option to control the placement.
