Note there are two mail lists with a focus on XSL-FO:

    http://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/www-xsl-fo/
    http://groups.yahoo.com/group/xsl-fo

XSLT and XPath questions would be better posted to the following list, 
though XSL-FO questions are also acceptable there:

   http://www.mulberrytech.com/xsl/xsl-list

There are a number of subscribers who would enthusiastically respond to 
such questions.

There is also an *excellent* FAQ at:

   http://www.dpawson.co.uk

I suspect an error in your formatting engine.  I have seen my students get 
this when they neglect to add bottom-margin= to their <region-body>, but 
you state that you have done so.  That margin is there to protect the 
<region-after> from being overwritten.

You say "footer", is that a table footer of rows and columns, a page footer 
at the bottom of the page, or just additional text in the flow?

That is the required behaviour of the XSL-FO engine.

>If no, is possible to make sure display of footnote on last page?

Here you say "footnote" instead of "footer" ... so I see at least three 
possible answers to this:

(1) - if you mean a true footnote, the formatter is supposed to allocate 
the space at the bottom of the main reference area on the page where you 
have placed the footnote; I've recommended this be used for things like 
disclaimers at the bottom of the last page of the flow

(2) - if you mean a table footer, this can be added as the last rows of the 
table body, or you can define a table footer and signal that it only be 
used at the end of the entire table instead of each page

(3) - if you mean a page footer, you can sequence your page geometries such 
that the last page have a <region-after> and you place your content into a 
static flow for that region

I'm sorry I cannot tell from your questions which applies to your situation.

I hope this helps.
