    According to the XSL specification, the margin-right property is not allowed
    on the region-before object.
    (http://www.w3.org/TR/xsl/slice6.html#fo_region-before) So, XEP is just
    doing what it's supposed to be doing. You'll have to find the stylesheet
    generated by XMLSpy and move the margin-right to the first block inside of
    region-before.

    e.g. instead of:
      <fo:region-before margin-right="1in">
        <xsl:apply-templates/>
      </fo:region-before>

    use
      <fo:region-before>
        <fo:block margin-right="1in">
           <xsl:apply-templates/>
        </fo:block>
      </fo:region-before>
