A note on tables and pagination: that's a place where you won't really
be able to lean on Gecko experience. Or more precisely, table
pagination in Gecko is at the state where all pagination is in
WeasyPrint: it's one-pass, no handling of dynamic updates. Gecko
disallows columnation of tables right now, for example, because we
simply can't handle it without crashing if you change anything about
your columnset.
Of course it's not clear how much you generally want to use of Gecko's
pagination setup; it's always seemed pretty complicated to me. Maybe
it's just a complicated problem...

P.S. The other thing you should not copy from Gecko when doing tables
is how we handle border collapsing. That's one of the remaining nasties
in Gecko's layout engine that hasn't been modernized since the bad old days.
