Same in LaTeX!

See my other mail!

With the actual tabular code you can have as much as you want!

This is not possible in LateX! I don't know for Doc-Book! (see former mail)

Well just change the Label (longtable options) for Docbook documents IMO
this can be done and enable it in any way not only when longtable is selected!

I don't know for Doc-Book is there something as longtable? If yes than it
makes sense to have the above options only enabled when this is selected.
For me Header/Footer make no sense in a 1 page tabular so no need to define
them there!

That's it what we do right now!
