That is exactly how the stylesheet I got from the customer is working
right now, but since there are other tables at page two generating the
same empty lines as a real table, I thought it was too far out to use
the background image trick hack on page one!

I was looking for alternatives easier to understand and maintain.

A third alternative, is to calculate how much the table will move up
or down, and add or subtract rows to the table. Easier said than done.
