When you try to create a border around a region such as <fo:region-body border-style="solid" border-width="thin" etc.../> the rendered pdf does not have a border around the body region. This happens on all regions.
That's because spec says so: http://www.w3.org/TR/xsl/slice6.html#fo_region-body second paragraph under "areas".
http://www.antennahouse.com/XSLsample/XSLsample.htm The Antenna House processor is able to achieve it. Check the five page region sample.
