Dear Renger,
This is occurring because "xtable" divides up the arguments into items related
to the "content" of the table and arguments related to the "layout" of the
table.
The "caption.placement" is an argument to "print.xtable()" rather than to
"xtable()":
print(xtable(summary(lm(y~x)),
align="rcccc",
caption="Summary statistics for the regression model",
label="tab:summary",
digits=2),
caption.placement="top")
If you have any additional questions, feel free to contact me.
Best regards,

Subject: [R] xtable and sweave: caption placement problem
Dear All
I am running Sweave with xtable and want to put the caption placement
on top. But this does not work. Any idea what is going wrong?
Here is an example that runs properly with the exception of the
caption placement in the pdf-file.
\documentclass[11pt,a4paper]{article}
\usepackage{Sweave}
\begin{document}
<<>>=
x = runif(100, 1, 10)
y = 2 + 3 * x + rnorm(100)
@
<<echo=FALSE,results=tex>>=
library(xtable)
print(xtable(summary(lm(y~x)),
align="rcccc",
caption="Summary statistics for the regression model",
caption.placement="top", label="tab:summary",
digits=2))
@
\end{document}
