The Muenchian method has no reliance on <br/> (btw, a close (but not 
identical) XSL-FO counterpart to <br/> is <block/>, but you don't want that 
because you said you were dealing with table rows).

Any grouping method merely gives you the control to handle a heading and 
then handle the content.

I've posted a solution to your problem using the HTML vocabulary for tables 
since not everyone has XSL-FO and the short solution might be of 
interest.  If you transliterate the HTML table constructs to XSL-FO table 
constructs, you'll probably get what you want with that example.

I'm just trying to underscore that any grouping method is *independent* of 
any target vocabulary, and there is *no* need for any kind of <br/> 
construct to use any grouping method.

I hope this helps.
