> I have an alternating page sequence that simply switches the left and
right hand margins (for binding). However, I also need the header (a 2
cell table placed in xsl-region-before) to be mirrored on alternating
pages. i.e. The 2 cells consist of a logo image on the left and a heading
text block on the right. This is correct for Left-hand (Odd) pages, but
needs to be the other way round for Right-hand pages (Even) - so that the
logo is always on the outside edge. Does anyone have any ideas how to
achieve this?

Oh, this is a fun problem. I think you want to define two
fo:static-contents in the fo:page-sequence, with different
flow-names--given them the values of "region-before-left" and
"region-before-right" or similar. Within these two fo:static-contents
define the different header layouts desired.
Next, create two fo:simple-page-masters, identical in every way except
they have a different region-name property for the fo:region-before. One's
region-name is called "region-before-left" and the other
"region-before-right".
Finally, create an fo:repeatable-page-master-alternatives, with different
"odd-or-even" properties, as here[1]. Have the "odd" one reference the
fo:s-p-m with a region-body w/region-name of "region-before-right", and
the "even" one reference the fo:s-p-m with "region-before-left".
This will result in the fo:static-content with flow-name of r-b-r being
ignored on even pages (and hence not rendered), and the one with r-b-l
being ignored on odd ones. Or something like that. ;-)
