Does anyone here use openjade to produce tables from SGML input?

Text in cells doesn't wrap very well.  In particular when we want to
align the text centrally only the first line is centered, all wrapped
lines continue from the left, which is really ugly.

Here's my example SGML:

    <table pgwide=3D"1">
    <title> Comparing Law Fields with Linear Algebra </title>
    <tgroup cols=3D"7">
    <colspec colname=3D'c1'>
    <colspec colname=3D'c2'>
      <tbody>
	<row>
	  <entry align=3D"center" valign=3D"middle" namest=3D"c1"
	    nameend=3D"c2">Law Field element</entry>
	  <entry align=3D"center" valign=3D"middle">Class of complex numbers</entr=
y>
	  <entry align=3D"center" valign=3D"middle">Behaviour under conjugation</e=
ntry>
	  <entry align=3D"center" valign=3D"middle">Class of operators in a
	    finite dimensional inner product space</entry>
	  <entry align=3D"center" valign=3D"middle">Behaviour under the adjoint
	    map</entry>
	  <entry>Law</entry>
      </tbody>
    </tgroup>
    </table>

This comes out in the tex/PDF output as:


    Law Field Element        Class of         Behaviour          Class of  =
        etc
                       complex numbers  under conjugation   operators in a
                                                            finite
                                                            dimensional
                                                            inner product
                                                            space

instead of,

    Law Field Element      Class of          Behaviour         Class of    =
      etc
                        complex numbers  under conjugation  operators in a
                                                                finite
                                                              dimensional
                                                             inner product
                                                                space


Does anyone have any ideas on how to fix this?
