[xep-support] table-header for table-body?

[G. Ken Holman]

It was brought to my attention that a simpler 
solution would be to just put each tableBody with 
its header in a nested table of the outer table 
with the common header.  I tested this and it 
works just fine ... the page break triggers the 
continuation of the inner table in the 
continuation of the outer table, thus triggering 
both table headers to be drawn on the new page.
