Thank you both for the clarifications.

I see...so there is a parent-child relationship
between a region and area, meaning larger fo:blocks
will need to be broken up into multiple areas so those
areas can be applied to the regions on the following
pages.
That's it. In general, there is an active hierarchy of FOs at any page break. Recall that the contents of fo:block are defined as
(#PCDATA|%inline;|%block;)*
and that there are some interesting complications in the contents of "&inline;" which, frankly, I still don't understand in spite of clarifications from the editors. Pages can break in the most unfortunate places.
