That seems to me like the best way to achieve what you want. Normally
you just have to play with start-indent and end-indent on the table. You
can even set the other indent (end-indent or start-indent) to a negative
value to avoid FOP warnings. Something like this:
• for even pages:
<fo:table table-layout="fixed" width="200%"
start-indent="0" end-indent="-100%">
<fo:table-header start-indent="0" end-indent="0">
...
</fo:table-header>
<fo:table-body start-indent="0" end-indent="0">
...
</fo:table-body>
</fo:table>
• for odd pages:
<fo:table table-layout="fixed" width="200%"
start-indent="-100%" end-indent="0">
<fo:table-header start-indent="0" end-indent="0">
...
</fo:table-header>
<fo:table-body start-indent="0" end-indent="0">
...
</fo:table-body>
</fo:table>
(You may have to adjust the width of the table a bit to account for its
borders.)
