What is the best way to center a table and control/fix the textwidth of the
local footnotes?

I currently have:

\starttext

\startbuffer[Tab01]
\startlocalfootnotes
\bTABLE
\bTR\bTD So\eTD\bTD what%
\footnote{\input knuth} % <=
\eTD\eTR
\eTABLE
{\placelocalfootnotes}
\stoplocalfootnotes
\stopbuffer

\startplacetable[title=Test,
align=middle]
                 {\getbuffer[Tab01]}
\stopplacetable

\stoptext

I usually use:

\startplacetable
\hbox{\startplacelegend[location=bottom]
   \startcontent
     TABLE
   \stopcontent
   \startcaption
     footnote
   \stopcaption
\stopplacelegend}
\stopplacetable
