It's more difficult than I thought.  You can't just add a

    (when (member "tablecaptionabove" (TeX-style-list))
      (make-local-variable 'LaTeX-top-caption-list)
      (add-to-list 'LaTeX-top-caption-list "table"))

to style/scrbase.el because at the time it is loaded the
"tablecaptionabove" style might not be present.

We could add the above code to `LaTeX-mode-hook' but I don't like to
mess with it because it could make it impossible for the user to
supersede the value again if necessary.  Another possibility would be
to add a style/tablecaptionabove.el file.  But that's ugly as well.
Unless somebody has a better idea I'd spare this feature for the time
we will have a more sophisticated style system.
