I can't give you the exact markup because it was done for a customer, 
but the basic technique I used is to use absolutely-positioned 
block-containers with borders on their narrow edges. Using this 
technique, you can create crop marks.

Specify no page margins and use the margins on the region-body and 
extents on edge regions to position the real page content appropriately 
on the physical page.

For registration marks, I created a reasonable registration target as an 
EPS and then just use more block-containers to place them.

Keep in mind that XEP positions block-containers relative to the edge of 
the physical page.

Cheers,

Eliot
