David,

I'll post your messages sent to xep-support (they have been bounced since sent not from a subscribed
address), but the problem is not with XEP but with the stylesheets, and XEP's behaviour is
compliant.

border-*.conditionality is discard by default. That's why table borders are not drawn
at the top and bottom of the intermediate chunks. If one want's the top border to be
drawn always, border-before.conditionality="retain" must be specified.
