Just a note: it's not exactly as if there's no heading rows at all. It is
apparent when the table is not the topmost element on a page (e.g., some
paragraph(s) above it). In this case, making more heading rows than the page's
height moves the entire table to the next empty page, and only then, when even
the empty page isn't enough, starts it to output rows as if there's no heading
rows. In contrast, if there actually were no heading rows defined, the table
would start on the page with those initial contents, and flow to the second
page.
