I can't make it right align using a nested table as a hack (using
fop-20140319.jar)

I tried various things, but essentially:

      <fo:table width="4.12in">
        <fo:table-column column-number="1" column-width="2.19in"/>
        <fo:table-column column-number="2" column-width="1.94in"/>
        <fo:table-body start-indent="0in">
          <fo:table-row>
            <fo:table-cell >

              <table xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Format";
width="2in" writing-mode="rl-tb">
                <table-column column-number="1" column-width="2in"/>
                <table-body>
                  <table-row>
                    <table-cell>
                      <block>
                        <inline font-size="11.0pt">ONEالمدينة</inline>
                      </block>
                    </table-cell>
                  </table-row>
                </table-body>
              </table>

            </fo:table-cell>

            <fo:table-cell >
              <block xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Format"; >
                <inline font-size="11.0pt">blah</inline>
              </block>
            </fo:table-cell>
          </fo:table-row>
        </fo:table-body>
      </fo:table>

It does work when @writing-mode is on a table which isn't nested; is
there some logic by which nested tables work differently?
