I'd recommend space-before:
<fo:flow flow-name="xsl-region-body">
<fo:block>Hello World!</fo:block>
<fo:block space-before.optimum="30cm" space-before.minimum="0mm">This
block is aligned at the bottom of the page!</fo:block>
</fo:flow>
You make the optimum space-before quite big but allow it to shrink. The
layout algorithm will do the rest. Unfortunately, using percentages in
block-progression-direction doesn't work reliably, yet (as you noticed).
So you can't specify space-before.optimum="100%". The spec also says:
"Percentages: N/A (Differs from margin-bottom in CSS)". Just use a "big"
absolute length.
Furthermore, there are the display-align extensions proposed by Luca
Furini a few years ago. But I don't think this works anymore because we
don't test for it.
