Can you attach a image/screenshot or html of the report you would like to create?

According to CSS spec, widows/orphans is supported on paragraph. Now we support widows/ophans on text element. 
If we need support silmilar feather on tables, we need further investigate and dicussion.

I think It would be good to have this feature on tables.
In the praxis it is very often, that a page break occurs after the table header.
For the customer the result will be better.

When will this feature be implemented for tables?

defer to future and should be resolved with the page number/page model/page event together.

According to CSS spec, widows/orphans is supported on paragraph. Now add support widows/ophans on block text element. 
I think we needn't support widows/orphans concept on tables. because we can use page-break-after: avoid, page-break-before: avoid to replace it. If we need support it on table, please create a new entry for it.

HTML text is not supported either.
Verified in build (2.5.0.v20090317-0630).
