I looked at the patch. I think the three variables expose too much Org internals to the user. It would be simpler to make use of `org-export-latex-tabular-environment' with a "booktabs" value. Also and #+attr_latex: booktabs should transform the table into a booktab-table locally. If Niels Giesen (CC'ed) doesn't mind, I will implement a modified version of his changes for the new exporter, in a couple of days. Regards, -- Nicolas Goaziou
