Thank's for the hint.

The template for figure, example, equation and table is
in fo/formal.xsl. There is already a table, but the image
and the header are placed in the same cell. I've split it
in two rows and it seems to work.

Add this two templates to your FO driver and let me know
if there are any problems.
