I'm grad of your answer.

when I posted the question, I had found the following sample in 
RenderX's demo file "testcase.fo":

  <fo:region-start reference-orientation="90" 
     vertical-align="bottom" precedence="true" 
     background-image="url('Images/spots.jpg')" 
     background-repeat="repeat" 
     border-bottom="thin solid blue" 
     extent="0.7in"/>

I wanted to know whether this "border-bottom" was only for the old  WD-
xsl-19990421 spec.

I converted this to WD-xsl-20000327 spec:

  <fo:region-start reference-orientation="90"
     display-align="after"
     background-image="Images/spots.jpg"
     background-repeat="repeat"
     border-right="thin solid blue"
     extent="0.7in"/>

but could not decide the change "border-bottom" -> "border-right".

oops, background-image... a real headache.
