You can set the formal.title.placement param to render the title *after* the table.

Use informaltable instead of table.

Here's one way:
<informaltable colsep="0" frame="none" rowsep="0">
<tgroup cols="4">
<tbody>
<row>
<entry>a1</entry>
<entry>a2</entry>
<entry>a3</entry>
<entry>a4</entry>
</row>
<row>
<entry>b1</entry>
<entry>b2</entry>
<entry>b3</entry>
<entry>b4</entry>
</row>
<row>
<entry>c1</entry>
<entry>c2</entry>
<entry>c3</entry>
<entry>c4</entry>
</row>
<row>
<entry>d1</entry>
<entry>d2</entry>
<entry>d3</entry>
<entry>d4</entry>
</row>
</tbody>
</tgroup>
</informaltable>
