| Yes, we tried to find a consistent implementation of multipage rotated containers

| both dimensions are specified then it generates one area.

| The proper way to markup landscape tables is to use
| landscape-oriented (or rotated) pages. Exactly what Ken Holman's
| stylesheet does.

No, I can't agree with you on that one. In particular, in order for
rotated tables to be useful, I want to be able to "float" them and I
don't think that can be done by creating multiple page sequences.
Be seeing you,
