Thank you Jeremias The marginalia examples I have found typically use a block-container within an fo:float. I haven't found an example which avoids the float :-( Are you aware of any?

As an alternative, you can investigate using fo:block-containers if you are happy enough to have the version numbers placed on the right side of the normal text flow.
