The layout is rather simple (in my eyes): text flow with some space for 
margin notes on the outer page sides. In between there are blocks with 
code samples. For these code snippets I want to use the whole width of 
the page (text area plus margin area).
(That means these blocks are wider, not smaller, but this shouldn't matter.)

I think additional properties like inside-indent / outside-indent
(in place of start-indent or end-indent in my use case) would do it.
Or an XSLFO function (even() or odd()) that can be used to compute
distance values, e.g. start-indent="20pt + odd()*10pt"

Perhaps these ideas could be suggestions for provisional XEP extensions ...
:-)

Cheers and thanks,
Oliver
