As documented, xtable() ignores any "..." arguments specified. Thus
passing 'size' as part of the call here has no effect, since 'size' is
not an enumerated argument for xtable().

print.xtable() has a 'size' argument enumerated, so it is respected
there.

BTW, print.xtable(..) is not required.

   print(xtable(mydata), size = "small") 

will work and is preferred over calling the method directly.

HTH,
