Actually, I guess I could live with that, at least in that special case. I'm just not sure, where this static element should be. It can't be in the page header, because that would overlap the table, it can't be in the flow, because then it would only appear once. Or am I missing something there? Can I put a block on a page which appears on every page, but outside of the flow and therefore outside of the 3 columns?

I thought a plain fo:retrieve-marker would have done the job, but I forgot that it's allowed only as a descendant of an fo:static-content element. This is not a problem when the table is split over pages, but it will be if it starts in the middle of a page, as the headline will appear at the wrong place. And I guess this may be the case in your real-life documents... If the headline is narrow enough to fit in the first header cell, then I guess retrieve-table-marker would do the job once it's implemented. Otherwise, I'm not even sure your layout can be achieved using plain XSL-FO constructs. Other opinions on this are welcome. Sorry...
