Here's a sample of a layout-master-set that has different page headers
for the first and other pages. The important hint is the region-name
that is overridden in fo:region-before.
<fo:layout-master-set>
<fo:simple-page-master master-name="IS-11" page-height="29.7cm"
page-width="21cm" margin-left="1.5cm" margin-right="1.3cm" margin-top="12mm"
margin-bottom="0mm">
<fo:region-before region-name="doc-header" extent="71mm"/>
<fo:region-body margin-top="73mm" margin-bottom="10mm"/>
<fo:region-after extent="10mm"/>
</fo:simple-page-master>
<fo:simple-page-master master-name="IS-12" page-height="29.7cm"
page-width="21cm" margin-left="1.5cm" margin-right="1.3cm" margin-top="34mm"
margin-bottom="0mm">
<fo:region-before region-name="other-page-header"
extent="17mm"/>
<fo:region-body margin-top="19mm" margin-bottom="10mm"/>
<fo:region-after extent="10mm"/>
</fo:simple-page-master>
<fo:page-sequence-master master-name="invoice">
<fo:repeatable-page-master-alternatives>
<fo:conditional-page-master-reference
master-reference="IS-11" page-position="first"/>
<fo:conditional-page-master-reference
master-reference="IS-12"/>
</fo:repeatable-page-master-alternatives>
</fo:page-sequence-master>
</fo:layout-master-set>
Further down the document you'll then have the following:
<fo:static-content flow-name="doc-header">
<fo:static-content flow-name="other-page-header">
instead of
<fo:static-content flow-name="xsl-region-before">
This lets you define separate page headers. What you currently can't do
is define a conditional-page-master-reference for page-position="last".
This is not implemented.
