The difficulty involves a table made of two columns (left/right)

columns (a,b,c,d) of the same page before going on to the next pages, 
themselves divided in the same way. The page header on the next pages is 
slightly different from the one found on the first page containing the 
table.

Is this possible with your XEP ?
This is the FOP list.
Could you give me an rough idea how to 
implement it and test it ?
You have to explicit assign the text to the columns in tables.
You can try to use columns in the region-body
 fo:region-body column-count=2/
If you can use this, you can probably also use static content
in the region-before for your slightly different headers.

You can put the text in a block and use span=all
