  You have two requirements in your example unfulfilled by XSL-FO 1.0:

     (1) there is no page condition that would test true for "the second last
         page in a page sequence" regardless of whether the last page is blank
         or not; and

     (2) there is no formatting object that would give you on any given page
         the page number of the next page.
