We want also, as long as possible, spare the user to the latex details. And in this case that is very easy. I read the longtable.dvi that comes with tetex, if that is what you mean. :-) I have it open for more than 24 hours to iluminate me with your design. ;-) But now I got it from your explanation. :-) Ok, I understood it now. Now I'm realy sure that the GUI is wrong. :-) With the present GUI you can have the footer above the header, or is it valid in latex? You could provide more visual feedback for header and footer, say with bold fonts. Those are the visual expectations we have related to both of them.

I was following a different path. In docbook, we should put first the header (if available) then the footer (if available) and then the table body. What I was expecting was that you had a flag for each row saying, this is the header or firstheader, or foot or lastfoot. Then I would go to all the table and I would collect the header rows in the header and the footer rows in the footer. Not caring if the footer rows are in the beginning or in the end.
