Description Tony Graham 2008-12-04 16:45:54 UTC 
From xsl-editors@w3.org:

I don't think it makes much sense to set the break-before and
break-after properties on fo:table-row and children of fo:table-cell
which are themselves children of fo:table-header and fo:table-footer
elements. It might be helpful to explicitely state that in the
descriptions of break-before and break-after.

Adding original poster as CC since response will be required when a solution is proposed.
Comment 2 Liam R E Quin 2010-06-03 15:51:38 UTC 
We agree.

At the end of 7.20.1 "break-after" add,

This property has no effect when it appears on a descendant of fo:table-header or fo:table-footer.

Similarly for 7.20.2 "break-before".

This property has no effect when it appears on a descendant of fo:table-header or fo:table-footer.


This does not take into account the corner-case of a break inside a table header when table-omit-header-at-break is true - i.e. a break inside a table header or footer that does not repeat is now disallowed.

I have marked this issue as closed; if you feel the resolution is unsatisfactory please reopen it (and say why!)

Thank you
