Hi,

2 options for the absolute-position property can be usefull to place an
area:
 - absolute: offsets with respect to nearest ancestor reference area
(block-container is one)
 - fixed: fixes with respect to the page (in case of pagined medium).

Try this:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<fo:root xmlns:fo="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Format";>
  <fo:layout-master-set>
    <fo:simple-page-master master-name="master">
      <fo:region-body margin="2in"/>
    </fo:simple-page-master>
  </fo:layout-master-set>
  <fo:page-sequence master-reference="master">
    <fo:flow flow-name="xsl-region-body">
      <fo:block-container absolute-position="absolute" border="solid red
1pt"
          left="-1in" height="100%">
        <fo:block-container absolute-position="absolute"
background-color="#fdd"
            width="1in" height="1in">
          <fo:block/>
        </fo:block-container>
        <fo:block-container absolute-position="fixed"
background-color="#dfd"
            width="1in" height="1in">
          <fo:block/>
        </fo:block-container>
      </fo:block-container>
    </fo:flow>
  </fo:page-sequence>
</fo:root>
