I know of two methods of putting a block at the bottom of a page:
1. Use fo:footnote, which will put it at the bottom of the body region.
You'll need to deal with the template named footnote-separator to turn off
the rule line for the titlepage.
2. Put the content in the footer area. That requires messing with the
geometry of the titlepage pagemaster and adding it to the xsl:choose
statement in the footer.content template.
I'm don't think either of them could be accomplished just using the
titlepage spec file, though.

Remko,
I don't know a way to directly say, "put a block at the bottom," but you
can get the same effect by setting space-before in the appropriate place
in the titlepage-content in your titlepage.xml file.
The excerpt below will give you a title at the top of the page, then the
author 4 inches down. You can adjust as needed to get the position you
want.
Hope that helps.

Hi,
I'm building a customized title page style. I have a block that I
would like to appear at the bottom of the title page, e.g.
-------------------------
Title
^
| (whitespace)
v
Author
-------------------------
(where the author appears on the bottom of the page). What's the
easiest way of getting the block on the bottom of the page?
thanks,
Remko
