[xep-support] no space for an element

I am formatting a DocBook 5 document (with RelaxNG as schema) into a PDF 
file.  I get several messages stating 'no space for an element'.

How can I identify the location of the error, and then take corrective 
action to prevent the problem?

I have looked up the page number where the error is reported, and then 
looked at the page in the resulting PDF.  I assume that the page numbers 
in the XEP output are the literal page numbers written in the PDF (is 
this correct?). 

It looks like most of the errors refer to <programlisting> and <table> 
elements that are large enough to span multiple pages, or that start low 
enough on the page so that they are split over a page boundary.  These 
do not look like errors to me, and regardless, I am not sure about how I 
should correct these problems.

I would like to get rid of them, because ignoring these error messages 
might result in a real problem getting ignored.  Is there a way to fix 
the document so that these messages do not show up?

Thanks,

Tom
