Andreas L. Delmelle commented on FOP-2478:
------------------------------------------
I am inclined to accept this as a bug.
Reading the XSL 1.1 Rec - 7.6.1, absolute positioning is handled via
top/bottom/left/right properties, specifying offsets with respect to the
nearest ancestor reference area. A bit further down, in the restrictions for
paged media, it is stated that the areas generated by absolute-positioned
objects become descendants of the page, etc.
I would take that to mean that the offsets are with respect to the
page-reference-area, not the region-reference-area, which seems to be what FOP
is doing.

> Key: FOP-2478
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/FOP-2478
> Project: FOP
> Issue Type: Bug
> Affects Versions: 1.1, trunk, 2.0
> Reporter: Jan Tošovský
> Attachments: block-container-fop.pdf, block-container-xep.pdf,
> block-container.fo
>
>
> In the attached example there is specified a distance of 180 mm between the
> bottom edge of block-container and bottom edge of the page. However, in FOP
> output this distance is different, bigger. Like both top and bottom margins
> (2x15 mm) would be added to this dimension.
