One final detail. At the moment both

<fo:retrieve-marker retrieve-class-name="continued"
retrieve-position="last-starting-within-page"/>
<fo:retrieve-marker retrieve-class-name="firstonly"
retrieve-position="last-starting-within-page"/>

are placed in fo:static-content inside page footer of first page. Works fine.

But the first of the two retrieve-markers should ideally be at the end
of the table in region body that continues over more than the first
page when "long". Like if a footer for that table could be turned on
but only shown for first page. Nice if "continued" looks like a label
inside the table that continues.

Right ... which is where I was starting from using retrieve-table-header earlier in the thread. Your comment then directed me to take it out of the body region and into a perimeter region.

I can see in the spec that we have different values for
"retrieve-position", but I must admit that I haven't seen the light
yet. All these concepts are new to me.

Any help, hints?

Add a table-footer with one cell and in that cell do the retrieval.

I hope the working example below helps.
