Sorry, the end of the sentence should have read:
This relies heavily on positioning within the parent. However, I need
this to move depending on other content down the page and possibly onto
the next page as necessary. I have tried placing this within a table
but it obviously does not move as the position is absolute. I have
tried using absolute-position="static" but then I lose the ability to
specify the dimensions of the block, plus I could not get it to work.

Subject: Flowing absolute positioned block-containers
The following code (which has been cut down to use as an
example) uses two circles onto a block container to create the illusion
of a table with space between the two circles (see attached):
<fo:block-container absolute-position="absolute" left="0.8cm"
top="1cm" width="17cm" height="1.3cm" background-color="red">
<fo:block font-family="Helvetica"
font-size="6"> </fo:block>
</fo:block-container>
<fo:block-container absolute-position="absolute" left="0.2cm"
top="0.56cm">
<fo:block font-family="Helvetica" font-size="11"
font-weight="bold" color="#0A3548">
<fo:instream-foreign-object content-height="5.2em">
<svg:svg xmlns:svg="http://www.w3.org/2000/svg";
height="500" width="500" viewBox="-50 -50 100 100">
<svg:circle r="50" style="fill:white; stroke:none"/>
</svg:svg>
</fo:instream-foreign-object>
</fo:block>
</fo:block-container>
<fo:block-container absolute-position="absolute" left="0.2cm"
top="0.6cm">
<fo:block font-family="Helvetica" font-size="11"
font-weight="bold" color="#0A3548">
<fo:instream-foreign-object content-height="5em">
<svg:svg xmlns:svg="http://www.w3.org/2000/svg";
height="500" width="500" viewBox="-50 -50 100 100">
<svg:circle r="50" style="fill:red; stroke:none"/>
</svg:svg>
</fo:instream-foreign-object>

Can anyone tell me if this is the best way of achieving this and
indeed if this is possible?
I am currently using FOP 0.93 and can't upgrade at this time.
