Unfortunately we don't propagate splitting to the cell level which I
think is what is needed.

The problems with splitting are bad enough :( and this requires the
table to function somewhat differently. I suppose we need an extra
escape mechanism that comes into play whenever a single cell is too
large for example we could then let the table duplicate the row and
split the contents of the original into two. That will work for things
which are splittable, but some things (images) are not splittable.


Anybody else have any ideas. Perhaps we need a forcible split api
