Thanks for your help so far. What I need is actually a watermark which will be centered on all pages in the page sequence. I can get a watermark on one page but not in all. Maybe I need to have even/odd pages and have a block in each?

Daniel:
I do something like this with SVG to show the status of the document (draft, final, etc.). However, transparency is not implemented yet (at least not in 0.20.3) so I have to keep the SVG very unobtrusive and colorless.
Not sure if this helps much, but here is some XSL code:
<xsl:stylesheet version="1.0" xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform" xmlns:fo="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Format">
<xsl:template name="showWatermark">
<xsl:param name="watermarkText"></xsl:param>
<fo:block text-align="center">
<fo:instream-foreign-object xmlns:svg="http://www.w3.org/2000/svg">
<svg:svg width="285" height="70">
<svg:g transform="rotate(-5)">
<svg:text x="10" y="60" style="font-family:Courier;font-size:40;font-weight:normal;stroke-width:0.5;fill:none;stroke:lightgray;stroke-opacity:0.75;">
<xsl:value-of select="$watermarkText"/>
</svg:text>
</svg:g>
</svg:svg>
</fo:instream-foreign-object>
</fo:block>
</xsl:template>
<xsl:template name="showSmallWatermark">
<xsl:param name="watermarkText"></xsl:param>
<fo:block text-align="center">
<fo:instream-foreign-object xmlns:svg="http://www.w3.org/2000/svg">
<svg:svg width="285" height="70">
<svg:g transform="rotate(-3)">
<svg:text x="30" y="10" style="font-family:Courier;font-size:30;font-weight:normal;stroke-width:0.5;fill:none;stroke:lightgray;">
<xsl:value-of select="$watermarkText"/>
</svg:text>
</svg:g>
</svg:svg>
</fo:instream-foreign-object>
</fo:block>
</xsl:template>
</xsl:stylesheet>
Then, to call it I do something like:
<fo:block-container position="absolute" top="10mm" left="1mm" height="70mm" width="230mm">
<xsl:call-template name="showWatermark">
<xsl:with-param name="watermarkText"><xsl:apply-templates select="statusText"/></xsl:with-param>
</xsl:call-template>
</fo:block-container>
