    If we take the example of border-before-width.conditionality="retain",
    where does it say then in the spec that this applies to all the reference
    areas generated by a table and not only to the first? If it applies to all
    of them, does the table then have more than one before edge? If yes,
    shouldn't the space-before and padding-before then also be repeated on
    all the pages if their conditionality is "retain"? These questions can
    also be asked about a block-container.

    Werner.
