Josh,

If you're trying to run this through an XSL formatter I'm not surprised if it's not working right; in fact I am surprised if it's working at all.

The XSL-FO code you've pasted isn't conformant. Mainly, here you have a series of FO elements one after another, when to be conformant FO they'd be nested, as in:

<fo:flow flow-name="xsl-region-body">
  <fo:block>...</fo:block>
  ...
</fo:flow>

not

<fo:flow flow-name="xsl-region-body"/>
<fo:block/>

etc.

Also the stylesheet designates an HTML output method -- not right for FO, and could muck things up.

So lots of things aren't right about this. You need to step back, figure out what FO you really need, and figure out how to generate it.

Cheers,
Wendell
