Hi Colin, It is the only way to do it, so it had better be the best way. 8^)
Depending on your XSL-FO processor, span may or may not work in all contexts. The XSL-FO spec says a spanned block must be a direct child of fo:flow. But DocBook uses nested fo:block elements for sections to apply section properties. That can be worked around, if you need it.

Ah, I just discovered the "span" attribute. So, I can make my entire page three-columns, and then use span="all" on the FO objects that I want to span across these columns. Can someone just confirm that this is the best way to do what I am after?

Say, for example, that I want half a page to have three columns, and the other half to have one column. Is this possible? Thanks, Colin
