It looks like the table splitting is broken. IIRC I mentionned this in the
last emails on the subject.
I want to find some time to look at all this but it's very very unlikely
before the end of the month. :(

Why don't you use one table per row for now ? This is what I do in my web
applications as I have not yet converted them to splittable tables.
Splittable tables are better but at least this works now.
