To avoid the strange effects, you can reset start-indent and end-indent to "0pt" on fo:table-body, fo:table-header and fo:table-footer. These two properties don't apply to these FOs but can still be specified as they are inherited.

+ == Results ==
- We need to verify that this interpretation is 100% correct. Once this is done, we have to find out if we also want to break inheritance or if we stick to a strict interpretation of the specification. It's mostly a question of interoperability. If you run the first example FO through various FO implementations you just as many different results.
+ Apache FOP should, by default, stick to the rules defined by the XSL-FO specification. The W3C SG has recently [http://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/xsl-editors/2005OctDec/0026.html confirmed] that our interpretation is correct. However, an option was recently added that allows to enable an alternative rule set that lets FOP mimic the behaviour chosen by many commercial XSL-FO implementations. Please note that enabling this feature lets FOP behave differently from what the spec dictates.
