I have been stepping through the latest XMLMind XSL-FO code for RTF and
from what I can tell it isn’t possible to have the first page use
different margins from the other pages. Is this the case? The XMLMind
documentation would give me the impression it is supported but it sure
seems like having special margins on the <simple-page-master> for the
first page is ignored.
* As near as I can tell the best option I have is to have a
<region-before> defined for the first page and add the correct
amount of white space there to make it look like the first page has
a larger top margin.
If I understand correctly our own documentation, your "*" idea is
exactly what I would do if I were faced to the same problem.

XFC supports all conditional-page-master-reference element combinations
that can be accommodated by a single RTF section. This means the
following page sequence layouts are supported:
- Single-sided layout.
- Header page + single-sided layout.
- Double-sided layout.
- Header page + double-sided layout.
This applies to all output formats. Also, note that a single RTF section
can handle different headers/footers on left/right/first pages, but does
not allow page geometry changes, except for switching left and right
margins on facing pages. This restriction does not apply to OpenDocument
output.

The key sentence here being "a single RTF section can handle different
headers/footers on left/right/first pages, but does not allow page
geometry changes".
