Oh well. I guess I will chalk > that up as something else XSLFO can't do. Considering section 4.9.6 of the specification, I'm not confident this is guaranteed to work as desired by the original poster. Perhaps adding z-index="-1" to the above will change the stacking layer sufficiently that the following blocks are not in conflict ... but your example of putting this a the start of the flow means that the background image is only going to be on the first page and not on every page. If you then make the decision to move the specification of the absolutely-positioned block container to one of the perimeter areas and static content, so that it appears on every page, there may still be a problem: someone on the committee told me that there is no guarantee that the unspecified z-index of a perimeter region is less than the unspecified z-index of the body region. Perhaps a combination of the block-container, in a perimeter region, with a lower z-index than the content of the body region (which 7.30.18 implies is zero) would do the trick. I'd appreciate it if someone on the committee would comment on this. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .
