[docbook-apps] nonbreaking tables

Hello,
probably a simple newbie question again:
Is there a way to keep tables together and to avoid
(short) tables beeing split into parts across different
pages?
I tried DSSSL with openjade and dsssl-stylesheets-1.77
which splits tables and adds a new table header to the
table's second part (on the new page).
Alternatively, I went the FO way:
xsltproc
--output xxx.fo
--stringparam tex.math.in.alt latex
--stringparam passivetex.extensions 1
<path-to>/docbook-xsl-1.64.1/fo/docbook.xsl xxx.xml
pdftex --interaction nonstopmode "&pdfxmltex" xxx.fo
This approach does not seem to split tables.
However all vertical separators are missing.
I had a look at the docbook-archive trying to find
an answer. There has been some discussion about
a 'workaround' to make graphics 'float' by including
them into tables, which can be made 'floating' (?)
How?
Thanks for any feedback.
Greetings
Harald
