Interesting requirement. Actually the XSL-FO Recommendation doesn’t seem to say anything about column balancing. It just seems that most of the time people will expect columns to be balanced before starting a block that spans all the page width. You’re the exception that proves the rule ;-) <snip/> > The only way I found to reach my goal would be manual splitting and > adding span="all" and margin-right to some blocks.

Maybe you could use the keep-together.within-column property instead of specifying span="all" and a right margin; but that still requires you to do manual work.
