Hi Benoît,

is the problematic paragraph labeled "% Make \@xmultirow long" in
dbk_table.sty *needed at all* within current dblatex?  I can't find any
calls of the \@xmultirow macro within dblatex, and after commenting out
the paragraph a DocBook example with a table containing multirows still
is transformed to PDF without errors and looks as expected.

Eliminating this paragraph from dbk_table.sty seems to be cleaner, more
robust and future-proof than my previous hotfix candidate.

What do you think?

Regards, Andreas
