[xep-support] Repeating table-column value across page boundary

Hi,

I have a requirement to format a 3 column table like so:

DESC   PAGE   DATE
xxx        1           Mar 08/06
             2           Mar 08/06
             3           Mar 08/06
...

If the table requires more than one page I want to repeat the value of the
DESC column at the top of the next page (and ideally add the text "cont.")
like so:

DESC   PAGE   DATE
xxx        51         Mar 08/06
(cont.)   52         Mar 08/06
             53         Mar 08/06
...

I know that XSL-FO doesn't support this kind of formatting natively.  I
tried to figure something out using nested tables, but so far have not come
up with anything.

Any ideas?

Thanks,
