According to the Formatting Object documentation the region-start (the region to the left of the body) spans between region-before (the header) and region-after (the footer), but when I generate a PDF with FOP (v1.1) region-start will begin at the top of the page and will push the region-before to the right.
So, is there any attribute or anything that makes the generator to place the region-start to begin below region-before?
Here is some example code:
