If you're really serious about seeing what you can do, I've already
been reading up on the workings of fo:retrieve-table-marker, and I
have a vague feeling that it is actually quite doable with the
current state of the trunk code:

* Modeling a basic FObj corresponding to a fo:retrieve-table-marker
is virtually no work, I think, as we already have the RetrieveMarker
it can subclass. The retrieved Markers will be the same, so I see no
reason anything should be overridden in this part (except for the
properties... maybe better to use a common superclass for retrieve-
marker and retrieve-table-marker?)

* We would need two additional properties that aren't yet supported:
retrieve-position-within-table and retrieve-boundary-within-table.
Since they're both regular enums, this won't be the load of the work
either...

* As to layout, creating the mapping from FObj to LayoutManager is
easy. At first glance, this seems analogous to the FObj, so we can re-
use much of the code of RetrieveMarkerLM.

Only thing I'm a bit worried about in terms of layout is that
retrieve-table-marker basically means that a table-header or table-
footer's height can vary with the marker retrieved. Exotic conditions
maybe, but still... :/

Due to the direction in which I pushed this: follow-ups on fop-dev@,
please.

Cheers

Andreas
