table spanned over a 2 columns page

[Pascal Sancho <pa...@takoma.fr>]

Hi,
 
I've tried to span a table over a 2 columns region-body.
when I write the following code, my table is laid out in the 1st column,
then in the 2nd one:
<fo:flow flow-name="xsl-region-body">
  ...
  <fo:table span="all">
    ...
   </fo:table>
  ...
</fo:flow>
 
But when I try the followsing code, my table is laid out over the 2
columns (that is the expected result)
<fo:flow flow-name="xsl-region-body">
  ...
  <fo:block span="all">
    <fo:table>
      ...
     </fo:table>
  </fo:block>  ...
</fo:flow>
 
I wonder wether it is a normal behaviour (I've checked the xsl rec, and
I have understood that fo:table should be handled as a fo:block) or not.
In the 2nd case, this should be a bug.
 
Can anyone confirm that before I submit it?
 
 
Cordialement,
Pascal SANCHO

FOP doesnt support span="all" on fo:table, only on fo:block elements that are 
direct descendents of fo:flow.

Why should this be a bug? span="all" works on a block, and you get the result 
you want. I dont see the problem?
