Why would you throw an old sheet over a saw table? It doesn't protect =

Hence aluminum does not rust. Maybe someone should invent an 'aluminum =
magnet'. <s>

they don't rust, but as TWS mentioned, it comes with it's own set of
problems... especially that black that appears only on expensive
pieces of wood if you don't keep a good coat of wax on the table..

rust is iron oxide, opinions notwithstanding.
I like Johnson's paste wax, but pretty much anything (cargo blanket, regular
blanket, bed sheet, etc.) that _touches_ the iron surfaces will prevent
condensation and rust. If it is floating over the table saw surface (for
example, because the blade guard is in the way), then you'll still get
condensation and rust. I would avoid using a plastic sheet because it will
trap moisture and make the problem worse.

you can't just unilaterally go redefining aluminum oxide as rust.

I think so.. is that the same as the "ring rust" that boxers get?

No.
I use thick polythene sheet. Stuck to the top surface are a number of
cheap disk magnets, held down by squares of gaffer tape. Large
lettering and corner marks show me which way round they fit, and
whether I'm trying to cover the saw with the jointer's cover. Total
cost about $0.25, because it's all recycled scrap.
I need polythene covers because of internal condensation from my cold
roof in a damp workshop. In January it rains indoors, despite the
dehumidifier.
I think I'll stick with T9.
