 Yes, each row has to have visible border.

 Hmm, I've got similar idea (I probably don't even have to make second
table, real table should use 100% of height and width of region-body so I
could declare visible borders to region-body) but in this scenario I'm
facing problem, how to declare "no bottom border for last row on the page" -
as I said, table goes over more pages and I need this
"row-height-justifying" on each page (not only on the last row of whole
table)...

 But wow, now I've got some idea!! :) I will declare only TOP border for the
rows and rest of borders will be added by region-body, this will do the
trick (no "real" bottom border for last row on each page). This will maybe
need some adjusting but I think I see light at the end of tunnel now :)

 Br, Tomas
