table.properties and dbfo keep-together.within-column

[<Ludger.Thomas@iese.fraunhofer.de>]

Dear List,
I guess <?dbfo keep-together="auto" ?> has been introduced to allow
control over breaking and non-breaking tables. In my case (XEP) I ran
into problems since I couldn't get my long (formal) tables start
directly after the previous content. I worked out a litle solution which
implements the correct behavior of dbfo PI. Hopefully you'll find it
usefull.

    <xsl:attribute-set name="table.properties">
	.... More attributes ....

    	<xsl:attribute name="keep-together.within-column">
    		<xsl:variable name="keep.together">
    			<xsl:call-template name="dbfo-attribute">
    				<xsl:with-param name="pis"
 
select="processing-instruction('dbfo')"/>
    				<xsl:with-param name="attribute"
select="'keep-together'"/>
    			</xsl:call-template>
    		</xsl:variable>
    		<xsl:choose>
    			<xsl:when test="$keep.together !=
''">auto</xsl:when>
    			<xsl:otherwise>always</xsl:otherwise>
    		</xsl:choose>
    	</xsl:attribute>
    </xsl:attribute-set>

Let me know if you have any suggestions or comments on this.
Best wishes.
Ludger
