Frederic,
You are creating an XSL-FO document.
The XSL stylesheet needs to have templates to create the document.
The <fo:root/> cannot appear except in a template. (see below)
You need to look at some examples of this in action. Why not download
some xml and stylesheets?

I would also suggest Dave Pawson's book XSL-FO. (www.amazon.com)
