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

3.       If the last row that did partially fit in the fragmentainer was a tbody or tfoot row restart fragmentation in that fragmentainer with the tfoot being repeated at its bottom and therefore a reduced vertical space. If that doesn't leave enough vertical space in the fragmentainer to contain at least partially one tbody row (or if the last row that did partially fit in the fragmentainer was a tfoot row), return to the previous fragmentation without the repeated tfoot; otherwise keep this new fragmentation. In both cases, continue to the next step.
"with the tfoot being repeated at its bottom" shouldn't that be "with **all** tfoot being repeated at its bottom"?

I assume the repeat behavior is always all or nothing, you can't get partial repetition. If the rows are included due to normal flow, this isn't a repetition (in short "repeated" does not include the original).

I don't remember for sure, but I think I meant that if you had multiple tfoot elements (not multiple rows in a tfoot), you're repeat them all. However, that's not what browsers do, so never mind.

Yes, and that is in the spec as well:

If a table owns multiple display:table-header-group boxes, only the first is treated as a header; the others are treated as if they had display:table-row-group. https://drafts.csswg.org/css-tables-3/#table-header-group
