Mybe i see something in the spec because i want to see it ;-) but
read from the following:
"Inheritable properties may also be specified on the fo:table-column.
These can be referenced by the from-table-column() function in an
expression."
that table-columns is a countainer for _all_ inheritable properties and
i can use it in the following manner:
<fo:table>
<fo:table-column width="5cm" text-align="left"/>
<fo:table-column width="5cm" text-align="center"/>
<fo:table-column width="5cm" text-align="right"/>
<fo:table-body>
<fo:table-row>
<fo:table-cell>
<fo:block text-align="from-table-column()"> ...
It would be nice to hear your opinion.

This way i didn't know - i'll hava a look at it.
thank you for all your hints and pointers
