I did a little more digging, and it turns out that I can abandon the
table entirely and just use a block-container with the appropriate
height set now to do the vertical alignment. Further, I can set the
overflow attribute on that block-container to "error-if-overflow."
Problem is, the implementation for this for the
BlockContainerLayoutManager is a todo note.
I added an OverflowException type and had the
BlockContainerLayoutManager throw it in that case. I'm not going to
send along my patch because it appears that whoever wrote the
original todo probably had her own designs on how to to this, but I
just want to put my vote in as somebody who wants to see this
implemented since I don't want to be stuck having to patch FOP
everytime I upgrade it.

Hi all,
I saw the explanation about the "The contents of row 1 are taller
than they should be" warning in the FAQ
(http://xmlgraphics.apache.org/fop/faq.html#row-height-constraint),
but it isn't helpful to my circumstances.
Basically I have a block of text (the contents of the table) that I
want vertically and horizontally centered. I want to be notified
in the case that the text is too large to fit. Back in FOP 0.20.5,
FOP would spill the extra text to another page and I would get the
page count, see that it was > 1 and be able to handle things that
way. In FOP 0.93, FOP just starts overwriting the margins and
spills off the page and aside from the warning printed to the log I
have no way of detecting in my application that the content doesn't
fit on the page.
I've tried using the overflow="paginate" attribute on the table,
the table-row, and the table-cell, but FOP doesn't do anything
differently. I also tried placing the table within a block-
container, and that allows the content to be clipped to the
margins, but still doesn't allow me to detect the overflow.
