I encounter the following problem when trying to create a dvi-file: The
first cell in the first row is always empty, and tex complains about a
misplaced \omit:
This is TeX, Version 3.14159 (Web2C 7.3)
(/usr/tmp/@2199.1
JadeTeX 1998/10/12: 2.3

(/usr/share/texmf/tex/jadetex/isoents.tex)
Elements will be labelled

! Misplaced \omit.

I assume this is not an error of mine, as it also happens when I use the
example table from the docbook book, i.e.:
<!DOCTYPE table PUBLIC "-//OASIS//DTD DocBook V3.1//EN">
<table frame=all><title>Sample Table</title>
<tgroup cols=5 align=left colsep=1 rowsep=1>
<colspec colname=c1>
<colspec colname=c2>
<colspec colname=c3>
<colspec colnum=5 colname=c5>
<spanspec spanname=hspan namest=c1 nameend=c2 align=center>
<spanspec spanname=bspan namest=c2 nameend=c3 align=center>
