Maybe you're looking for the 'clear' property? This works for me:

<fo:float float="left">
  ...
</fo:float>
<fo:block clear="both"/>

I think the spec is unclear about where 'clear' is allowed, but I've
verified that this works, while <fo:leader clear="both"/> or <fo:float
clear="both"/> doesn't.

The description of 'clear' says it applies to all "block-level elements".
If that is the same thing as "block-level formatting object" then XEP does
the right thing (only fo:block and fo:block-container belongs to
block-level formatting objects). On the other hand, fo:float also has the
'clear' property, but fo:float is not a block-level formatting object.
