This is not a correct interpretation. The areas are allowed to overlap.

Indeed I rely on this behaviour in the
publicly-available UBL business document
stylesheets. I "paint" the background of the
page by drawing a complete page's worth of
<region-before>, and then in the holes of
untouched canvas I render the business document
content using the <region-body> overlapped on top.

If the stylesheet writer does not want the
behaviour I take advantage of, the onus is to
create a perimeter margin of the <region-body> at
least as large as the extent= of the perimeter
region in order to avoid overlap.

I hope this helps.

p.s. the UBL stylesheets (and a couple other
XSL-FO resources) can be downloaded from our web
site's "Free resources" link on the home page linked below.
