[xep-support] Page break in bottom-aligned table cell

[François Yergeau]

Hello all,

I have a simple table with two columns and only one row. The right-hand 
cell has display-align="after" and contains just a short string. The 
left-hand column has more text than can fit in a page, so there is a 
page break.  The problem is that the text in the right-hand column 
prints at the bottom of the first page, instead of sinking down to the 
very bottom of the table row as (I think) it should.

The right-hand cell obviously extends to the second page (as can be made 
plain with a border), but XEP doesn't seem to want to take advantage of 
that and put the text there.

Opinions, suggestions, criticism and workarounds are all welcome.
