Ok, no luck.

With this example, the notes always appear after the table. (Pablo's 
settings from above make no difference.)


```
\setuppapersize[A6][A6]
\starttext

\startpostponingnotes
\bTABLE[split=yes]
\dorecurse{20}{
\bTR \bTD a\footnote{A footnote} \eTD \eTR
}
\eTABLE
\stoppostponingnotes

\stoptext
```

Is there anything else I can try? Or is that simply not possible? The 
problem is that I have a table where it is really awkward to have the 
notes after the table. (I think with localfootnotes it will be more or 
less the same as they appear where flushed, i.e. also after the table.)

Best,
Denis
