Does anybody here have experience converting TEI tables -> FO -> PDF using fop?
I am (slowly) marking up sets of etexts in TEI/XML. I plan to provide full-text searching against the collection and disseminated the whole thing in various ebook formats. You can see what have done so far here:

I have written various xslt stylesheets to convert my TEI to HTML, SHTML, and plain text. My stylesheet to convert TEI to FO has hit a roadblock when it comes to tables. It only seems to support fixed-width cells and wants to know exactly how many columns there will be in each table. Given the wide variety of table types I am to encounter, this seem rather limiting. I am having a tough time writing a TEI -> FO stylesheet that FOP can use. I'm getting desperate, and I'm about to mark up my tables as pre-formatted paragraph. Ick.
Does anybody here convert their TEI files into PDF documents, and if so, how do you handle table data?
