Comment(by lutra):

 > However, as I said in an earlier comment: what we are really looking for
 is the possibility of joining a layer attribute table to other data
 tables, not (only) to other layer attribute data tables. And IIUC, it is
 impossible at this stage to import a simple data table (e.g. dbf or csv)
 without geometries, and then join it to an existing layer attribute table,
 or ?


 I agree, the new Join implementation to e complete needs to allow Join
 also external data tables (dbf, as ftools already does, csv, etc.). It
 works already fine with geometryless postgres tables.
