Hi John,
The philosophers can think, but have poor writing habits and style IMHO!
Yet, that is a tradition. ;-))

Within tabular I just have \noalign{\nobreak} between the lines of the table that aren't to be split, and if a whole table was to be regarded as non-splittable I suppose I would put it all within vertical box: \vbox{TABLE IN HERE}.
