RE: DOCBOOK-APPS: Top border lacking on repeated table headers with xep

[David Cramer <dcramer at broadjump dot com>]

Ok, that make sense, but when I add border-top-width.conditionality="retain" or border-before-width.conditionality="retain" to the fo:table, nothing changes (the top border of the running headers are still not there in the pdf):

<fo:table margin-left="0pt" margin-right="0pt" border-collapse="collapse" border-top-width.conditionality="retain" border-left-style="solid" border-right-style="solid" border-top-style="solid" border-bottom-style="solid" border-left-width="0.5pt" border-right-width="0.5pt" border-top-width="0.5pt" border-bottom-width="0.5pt" border-left-color="black" border-right-color="black" border-top-color="black" border-bottom-color="black" width="100%">
