Does anyone have a link to a good tutorial or white paper on the logic
behind how XEP handles keeps? 

I have a document that currently spans three pages.  It is a group of 7
table containing a total of 35 rows which are printed sequentially to give
the illusion of one large continuous table.  I have no keeps at all in the
document, and the current bias that XEP is exhibiting is to balance the rows
between the three pages.  The total height of the table on each of the three
pages is approximately the same.  The bias that I am looking for is to put
as many rows as will fit on a page but still try and keep the individual
tables together on a page and never display just a table heading on a page
without at least one row from the table body.  I can't seem to find the
right combination of keeps to accomplish this.  I seems as though the more
keeps I add, the more the bias turns towards filling the pages at the end of
the document first, even going as far as to add a fourth page and leave the
first page completely blank (the first page has a smaller region-body than
subsequent pages).  In other words adding keeps seems to have the complete
opposite effect of what I am looking for.
