[xep-support] possible to create a table title that has "continued" at the end after a page/column wrap?

Certainly for the documents I have come across that needed table 
markers, floats were not needed. So it would be a reasonable compromise 
to not allow floats if table markers are used and vice versa.

I think either would be acceptable for the documents that I've seen. It 
would be good to get some input from the XSL-FO Sub group and other 
folks who need to generate complex statement type documents.
