Wolfgang, Your solution seems to work perfectly: I get exactly what I want (I only have to remove frames around cells).
I don't understand the possible problems: are you saying that if I use xtables in the body of the document (other than in the header), and those tables split across pages it could give unexpected behaviours? What if I don't use xtables in the body, but other tabular environments that allow splitting, such as TABLE or Linetable (I'm reading from the wiki, I never used that)? Thank you very much!
