horizontal rule in table?

[Phillip Rhodes]

Hi fop'ers,
I have horizontal rules that span across the entire length of the 
page.  They appear as separators between rows in a table.  They are called 
"tablerule" in my xml doc.
            <tr>
               <td>Cancer</td><td>12</td>
            </tr>
            <tablerule />
            <tr>
               <td>Heart Disease</td><td>30</td>
            </tr>

The problem is that my tablerule element does not have the number of 
columns that I want it to span.  I would like it to span the entire 
table.  However the transformation that I wrote wants a 
number-columns-spanned attribute.  I set it to the max possible, but this 
feels kind of a hack.
Can someone recommend a good solution to outputting a horizontal rule 
within a table without having to re-write or change the xml?  Changing the 
xml would be very difficult.
Thanks!

Here is my xsl for the tablerule element:
<xsl:template match="tablerule">
  <fo:table-row>
    <fo:table-cell border-bottom-width="0.5mm" border-bottom-style="solid" 
number-columns-spanned="10">
      <fo:block space-before="5pt"><xsl:text> </xsl:text>
      </fo:block>
    </fo:table-cell>
  </fo:table-row>
  <fo:table-row>
    <fo:table-cell number-columns-spanned="10">
      <fo:block space-before="5pt">
        <xsl:text> </xsl:text>
      </fo:block>
    </fo:table-cell>
  </fo:table-row>
</xsl:template>
