RE: [css-tables] Dropping repeated headers/footers when one content row doesn't fit

Can you please have a look at the new text and tell me if that works for you both?

I didn't call out an explicit algorithm for now but trying to write one informed how I rewrote some of the paragraphs.

>> I'm reading it to say that as long as repeating the header and footer leaves room for at least part of a tbody row in the fragmentainer then they can both remain. If it doesn't, but dropping the repeated footer allows room for at least part of a tbody row, then drop the repeated footer but keep the repeated header.

Actually I had a look at our source code, and what Edge and Firefox do is easier than that even, we just repeat the footer/header if they occupy less than 25% of the fragmentainer height. Combined they can therefore never account for more than half of the fragmentainer height, which means that it should be enough to fit a row for sure.

I will put that in the spec, that seems reasonable to me.
