Re: [docbook-apps] No border between multiple tgroups in a single cals table for fo output.

["Bob Stayton" <bobs@sagehill.net>]

I think I agree with Dale's interpretation of the Cals table spec[1].  It 
says that rowsep is "Ignored for the last <row> of the <table>, where the 
frame value applies.".  It does not say the last row of each tgroup. I think 
it is a deficiency in the stylesheet to not output the rowsep for the last 
row of a tgroup that is followed by another tgroup. I think because the 
stylesheet uses an fo:table for each tgroup that it confuses tgroup with 
table in the application of the table frame attribute.  Each tgroup should 
*not* use the table.frame template blindly.
