It seems that I am having success with a table defined like this:
<table>
<table-body border-bottom="solid 1px #000">
<table-row>
<table-cell><block>Label Cell:</block></table-cell>
<table-cell><block padding-left=".05in">Value Cell</block></table-cell>
</table-row
</table-body>
</table>
Is it correct to assume that the table width will derive from the
total width of content (until it reaches parent object boundary
width)? Or to be safe, should I conform with your option #1?

In FO, what would be the correct implementation for a table who's
width is strictly dependent on content, where the content does not
wrap in the table-cell.
In XSL-FO all table cell boundaries are either explicitly set by the
stylesheet, or dynamically calculated by the formatter ... not dynamically
set by the stylesheet.
And cell boundaries cannot be different on a per-row basis within a single
table (though you can, of course, have many single-row tables).
I need: label + value, underlined. The length of the label is
dynamic (unknown), and same for the value.
Two possible ways:
(1) - use table-layout="fixed" and wrap the content of each cell in a block
keeping the line contents together with something like wrap-option="no-wrap"
or with a keep-together.within-line= to force the formatter to make its
table column decisions without breaking the line content
(2) - use a side float instead of a table, again with something like
wrap-option="no-wrap" on the block so that the formatter calculates the
width of the float to be the width of the block
And you will need one table per label/value pair, or one side-float and
associated block per label/value pair.
I hope this helps.
