I believe this is not a good style to wrap everything you want to keep
together in a single-cell table. Exactly the same result can be
achieved by wrapping the contents in a fo:block with
keep-together.within-page="always". Tables are more
resource consumptive than blocks, even nested. You will certainly feel
the difference on large documents. Avoid tables whenever you don't want
to draw a table.

Again, this is makes no difference with the above approach, except that
it takes more keystrokes.
