Thanks Pascal for the info, but alas I've moved on to using a graphic (no 
*align* necessary), straight-forward and it works. I tried many different 
options and followed instructions not only mentioned here but from FO info on 
the web. None of it seemed to work how I expected it to.

Mario,

rather than keywords, you can set your property with a <length> or a
<percentage>, witch should give more accurate result.

Also note that vertical-align is a shorthand for (alignment-baseline,
alignment-adjust, baseline-shift, and dominant-baseline).
Setting a <length> value to vertical-align is equivalent to setting it
to baseline-shift.

In addition, the REC XSL-FO says, regarding the baseline-shift property:
"Using the "alignment-adjust" property is more suitable for positioning
objects, such as graphics, that have no internal textual structure"

You should follow it, this should help you.
