The footnote method can work, but it requires turning off the footnote 
separator rule for the titlepage masters.  Actually, there is a third method in 
XSL-FO.  An fo:block-container can be positioned absolutely on the page, even 
in FOP. The "bottom" property sets a distrance of that block from the bottom.

<fo:block-container absolute-position="absolute" bottom="2cm">
  <fo:block>Content here</fo:block>
</fo:block-container>

With no other properties, the block will assume the width of the page, with a 
height matching the content. The only danger with absolute positioning is that 
if the content above it extends downward too far, they can overlap.

I don't know of a way to specify a fo:block-container in the titlepage spec 
file, though. You'll need to specify a named template, and put this code in the 
named template.  Let me know if you need further details.

bottom of page?


  As far as I know, no. Your two options are:

  1. Put the legal notice in a footer(fo:static-content)
  2. Just keep using the <fo:block space-before = "xin" until you get your 
desired result. 

  Maybe there is a way to use a maximum property with a 
keep-together.within.page. I've never tried this.

    I've customized my fo-output title page by modifying the 'article' template
    in titlepage.templates.xml, removing some elements I don't want to appear,
    and so on.

    Spacing the elements relative to one another is pretty trivial (using
    space-before and space-after properties).  What I can't seem to figure out
    is how to align one or more elements at the bottom of the page.  In this
    case, I specifically want the <legalnotice> element to appear at the very
    bottom of the main content area.

    Is there a straightforward way to accomplish this?

    Thanks,
