But how do you know when you have reached the end of one page and the
start of another?  How do you know when your table has crossed a page
border, and needs to be moved onto the next page?  

HTML is meant for the screen, as one continuous 'page' and as such has
no features to deal with this.  I think you are left with the choice of
no (or one) header + html, or headers + xsl:fo.
