That's certainly a possibility. I wonder if there is a use-case where
this wrapping mode would be different for different tables in the
document?

If you're interested in a setting similar to OOXML's
allowTextAfterFloatingTableBreak option, that would be rather
per-document, not per-table. And there is some benefit if ODF's matching
setting would be also per-document, it simplifies the job of ODF ->
OOXML filters. If that direction makes sense, then I guess this would be
rather a second boolean in settings.xml, not a 3rd value for the
proposed text:may-break-between-pages attribute.

Would that make sense? Just trying to avoid creating trouble for
ourselves. :-)

Thanks,

Miklos
