My templates for now are:

[XSLT]
<xsl:template match="h1|h2|h3|h4|h5">
	<fo:table table-layout="fixed" width="100%">
		<fo:table-column
column-width="proportional-column-width(1)"/>
		<fo:table-body>
			<fo:table-row keep-with-next="always">
				<fo:table-cell>
					<fo:block
xsl:use-attribute-sets="name()">
						<xsl:apply-templates/>
					</fo:block>
				</fo:table-cell>
			</fo:table-row>
			<fo:table-row>
				<fo:table-cell>
					<fo:block>
						<xsl:apply-templates
select="following-sibling::*"/>
					</fo:block>
				</fo:table-cell>
			</fo:table-row>
		</fo:table-body>
	</fo:table>
</xsl:template>

<xsl:template match="*[preceding-sibling::(h1|h2|h3|h4|h5)]"/>
[/XSLT]

But that does not work

1. The second element is there twice.
2. The xsl:use-attribute-sets="name()" does not work here.

Any idea?
