>From what I saw in the file you sent, I think you would be much better
off using elastic spaces between sections instead of relying on
a non-standard property. “distribute” may be of use when you are dealing
with very long paragraphs. This is not the case of your document; in
your case the way to go definitely is to allow space to shrink or
stretch between sections. Do something like this:
    <fo:block
      space-before.minimum="5pt"
      space-before.optimum="7pt"
      space-before.maximum="14pt"
      ...>Section Title</fo:block>

Non-standard properties are not guaranteed to be maintained so you
better not rely too much on them.

HTH,
Vincent
