If you use fo:table-and-caption, the result is just empty space, while the same table as "stand-alone" table works.
Sorry, forgot, wasn't in the list: this applies to 0.20rc3
If you check section B4 on the features page: http://xml.apache.org/fop/implemented.html You'll notice that fo:table-and-caption hasn't been implemented yet ... which, by the way, I'd like implemented sooner than later for the purpose of converting some docbook into pdf.
