I don't think there's a standard.

IMHO, Option 2 is the better of the 2 solutions, since you can then
refer to the table from numberous places in the text.

(however, i'd rather have the table flush-left and flush-right, but
that's just me. <g>)

when you include a table
in your document, do you refer to the table in the text as "the
following table" ... or,

Refer to the table in the text as "Table 1-1" and center the table
in the middle of the page with its caption above the table.

What is the standard for this?
