    You can put the table (or any other element) in a side float
    (float="start" or float="end"). Text will flow around the other side and
    bottom.

    There is no way in XSL-FO 1.0 to have text automatically wrap on both
    sides of another flow object. [This feature was discussed at some length
      at one of our face-to-face meetings and we convinced ourselves that
    the behavior had too much potential complexity to be able to address it
    in XSL-FO 1.1.]

    No. You can only span in direction or the other.

    But I think a side float should do what you need.

    Cheers,
