He means to create new fo:simple-page-master elements with reference-orientation="90" 
on the fo:region-body in it.  Then you create a new fo:page-sequence-master from the 
simple-page-masters, and apply this landscape page master by putting its name in the 
master-reference property of the fo:page-sequence for the table.

The problem with doing this is that you cannot put a fo:page-sequence inside an 
fo:page-sequence.  Typically a table occurs inside a chapter or section that has a 
fo:page-sequence.  You have to terminate that page-sequence before the table, run the 
landscape table page-sequence, and then start a new regular page-sequence for the 
content after the table.  That's a job for PSMI.

PSMI (http://www.cranesoftwrights.com/resources/psmi/index.htm) is Page Sequence 
Master Interleave written by Ken Holman to automate that process of breaking up a 
page sequence to accomodate landscape items.  I use it regularly for this purpose.
