No, since all the cells have content that's too long to fit, it just chooses 
equal-width cells, which is pretty reasonable IMO.

I need to narrow this down some more, and check I have the latest XEP 
version: it appears that as soon as you put an fo:inline element inside a 
table then line wrap gets turned off :-(

Let me see if I can create a reduced test case first and figure out what's 
going on.

I'll also look into the more general issue of long lines of code bleeding 
off the page edge...(which should be fixable using xsl:param's)
