Hi Vincent, 

That seems to solve two problems in one, just one last(?) thing: Why is the 
marker defined in each row?

Have a look at the attached FO file. Actually you would specify a 'normal' 
height for the region-before, and set the overflow property to 'visible'. When 
the marker for the table is retrieved, then it would overflow the region-before 
and appear in the body.

The second part of the trick is to enclose the table into a block with 
padding-before.conditionality set to 'retain'. That way, when the table is 
broken over columns it will be 'shifted' from the top of the region-body, 
leaving room for the marker.

Provided that you don't specify any background on the region-body you should 
get the desired result. You normally can safely ignore the overflow warnings 
FOP will issue.
