I've included below a short example of a formatting object tree that
includes a list. It works fine for me with FOP 0.8.0 (i've introduced a bug
in 0.8.1 which I won't release until the bug is fixed)

Note that FOP currently miscalculates the amount of space in the block
progression direction that a list item takes up so you'll get incorrect page
breaks. This will be fixed in 0.8.1

FOP doesn't support tables yet but it is on my list :-)

Here is the fot file:
