["Chris Bowditch (JIRA)" <ji...@apache.org>]

    [ https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/FOP-1099?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel&focusedCommentId=13626457#comment-13626457 ] 

Chris Bowditch commented on FOP-1099:
-------------------------------------

The W3C XSL-FO sub group has been suspended, so we aren't going to get an answer from them any time soon. I suggest we drive the behaviour from user/customer requirements instead. I have a customer that wants to be able to repeat footnotes for every page that a table spans. Putting the footnote in the header is the perfect way to achieve this. If the user didnt want it repeating for every page, they can move the footnote into the first table-row after the table-header. So making the footnotes in headers repeat give the user the choice of which behaviour they want. Therefore it makes sense to implement footnotes in headers so that they repeat, allowing either requirement to be fulfilled.
