GIGO applies.
Try this:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<!DOCTYPE article PUBLIC "-//OASIS//DTD DocBook XML V4.2//EN"

<itemizedlist>
<listitem>
<para>ndw: do you really want this table in a list item?</para>
<table>
<title>ndw: You have to put a title in here</title>
<!-- attribute center doesn't work --> <!-- ndw: in what implementation? -->
<tgroup align="center" cols="3">

<entry>first column</entry>
<entry>second column</entry>
<entry>third column</entry>

<!-- This link doesn't work within this table only the watsup text -->
<!-- ndw: i bet it works now, with more reasonable looking table entry markup -->
