Hi,
top is one of the relative position properties, when applied to the
fo:block (see [1] & [2]).
Currently, FOP doesn't implement such properties (see [2]).
I see 2 workaround alternatives:
As Glenn said, you should use absolute ones that come with fo:block-container:
<fo:block-container abolute-position="absolute" top="1in">
<fo:block>...</fo:block>
</fo:block-container>
Or play with space-before property:
<fo:block
space-before="-0.5em"
space-before.conditionality="retain"
>...</fo:block>
