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.

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.

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?
