It is possible but it would not be simple. The stylesheets were not
designed to handle a table nested in a para in a table entry. Normally
CALS tables are nested with an entrytbl replacing entry, not a table
element nested inside an entry element. In DocBook 5, your file will not
validate as it would violate the Schematron rule that prevents putting
informaltable inside entry. It should be invalid in DocBook 4, but
there is no way to express such an exclusion with DTD syntax.
The footnote machinery is already complicated by having to keep separate
the table footnotes from the page footnotes. So you would need to
customize several templates that number and place footnote markers, as
well as places where footnote paragraphs are rendered, to take into
account nested table footnotes. Those templates are in the
footnotes.xsl and table.xsl stylesheet modules.

Hi everybody,
I’m facing a problem: I have a “table-in-a-table” and if I put a
footnote in the text inside the inner table, it is reported twice:
once out of the internal table and once out of the external one.
Is it possible to make it appear only under the internal table?
I hope my request is clear; I report my example and the result, to
make it easier to understand.
Thank you in advance!
Matteo
