That's what I thought. Which is why I solved my issue entirely
without Platypus. That was possible, because the document was
mostly only one big table. And, yes, it is a pain...

That said, (static) table footers would already be helpful. It
would be nice for the table class to have some propepr hooks
called when a frame/page split does occur. That would make
things almost trivial.

Makes me think of an altertables package... ;-)
