[xep-support] XEP-trial problems

According to the XSL specification, the margin-right property is not allowed
on the region-before object.
(http://www.w3.org/TR/xsl/slice6.html#fo_region-before)  So, XEP is just
doing what it's supposed to be doing.  You'll have to find the stylesheet
generated by XMLSpy and move the margin-right to the first block inside of
region-before.

e.g. instead of:
  <fo:region-before margin-right="1in">
    <xsl:apply-templates/>
  </fo:region-before>

use
  <fo:region-before>
    <fo:block margin-right="1in">
       <xsl:apply-templates/>
    </fo:block>
  </fo:region-before>
