I was looking for xsl-fo test suites on the net and found http://www.w3.org/Style/XSL/TestSuite/
but for some reason all the test in the NIST zip file uses master-name instead of master-reference on the fo:page-sequence's.
<fo:page-sequence master-name="test-page-master">
[Andreas L. Delmelle]
Apparently this was admitted by earlier versions of the spec. Older versions of FOP still supported this, but the latest version throws an error...

Thank you for the link, that was exactly what I was looking for.
