The short answer to the question is NO you cant absolutely position an
fo:block. Only block-container has this ability as you have already pointed
out.

It seems to me that XSL-FO is the wrong technology to solve your problem.
XSL-FO is about flowing text onto pages. You should take a step back from
your problem and ask why you need to absolutely position all these blocks.

If you are trying to generate a PDF with a fixed layout, perhaps you should
you look into using a PDF generation tool rather than hacking XSL-FO.
