[xep-support] Calculating left-indent

[David Priest]

Is there an easy method of dynamically determining the distance from the  
edge of the page to the start of hard-left text for a content block on any  
given page?

I think the calculation would include page.margin-left and  
region-body.margin-left.  I don't think region-start would be needed, as  
region-body needs to set a left margin that doesn't overwrite it.  One  
might need to include block.margin-left, block.border, and block.padding  
for the current content block.

Alternatively, simply knowing whether my template was currently putting  
content on a left or right page would go a long, long way to helping me  
achieve the layout I desire.

Any hints would be greatly appreciated.  The solution can be XEP-specific.
