    If I understand it correctly, you hit a limitation of XEP. Table headers
    are implemented in a non-conformant way: if a table row cannot fit into
    one page and is split by a page break, then the header is inserted _after
    that row_, rather than at the top of a page. The limitation is described in
    http://xep.xattic.com/xep/doc/spec.html#Implementation_Notes;
    the respective document is also present in your copy of XEP.

    One general advice: it is hard to comment or suggest looking on PDF only,
    without the source XSL FO. We don't even know what is the structure
    of your table...

    We have recently purchased XEP 3.6.2 to produce a PDF version of Industrial Statistics Yearbook pages.

    One of the first attempts to produce a complex table spread over couple of pages gives strange results of main data rows mixed or
    not kept together (see the PDF file attached). If the same table is contained within one page no problems are encountered.

    Similar processing with Apache FOP does not give this kind of a problem.

    Any comments/suggestions?

    Thanks in advance.
