Could  you please  take a look at  http://www.renderx.com/Tests/

I'm not saying that we'l not implement the clean support 
for XSL FO tables. We will. Soon. Earlier than in 6 months.

Rgds.Paul.

PS. The proposal for "Runnig Heads" and related 
issues is in progress. We  found that we need to 
describe at least 3 different ways, because it appears 
that it is impossible to saticfy all possible requirments
( speed / complexity / general approach / syncronization 
with the WD  e t.c. ) using just one way.

One of alternatives is based on James' proposal 
( the proposal is cool as-is, of course). 

<aside>
Actualy  it looks like we are sometimes deciding what  
is better to have in the language 

"recursive functions and if's" or "for"

I think the good language should have both even 
they are 'equal'. Especialy if the language it is 
already eclectic and the idea was : "not to restrict, 
but to allow".
