Thanks for your answer. I will experiment with this approach.

Which property can I use to set the gap width?
The shorthand is: border-spacing="<length> <length>?"
- the first specifies the separation in the inline-progression direction
- that applies to the block-progression direction unless overridden
with the second
The longhand is: border-separation.inline-progression-direction="<length>"
border-separation.block-progression-direction="<length>"
http://www.w3.org/TR/2004/WD-xsl11-20041216/#border-spacing
The lengths specify the distance that separates adjacent cell borders.
If one length is specified, it gives both the horizontal and
vertical spacing. If two are specified, the first gives the
horizontal spacing and the second the vertical spacing. Lengths may
not be negative.
Yes, that's the CSS definition, but the XSL modification to that
definition specifically make reference to the
writing-direction-dependent properties because in a tb-rl writing
mode the "horizontal" and "vertical" of CSS are flipped.
It seems to be a lazy mans charter. Type as much as you need to get
what you want.

lets you name both.
Subtly different, shorthand vs full!
True, both properties let you set both components of separation, but
the CSS shorthand is also re-interpreted in terms of XSL-FO rather
than the biased terms of CSS.
And as with many properties with compound components, not explicitly
setting any compound component in the longhand form sets all compound
components per the specification.
