The stylesheet writer is responsible for avoiding the overwrite of regions.

In some applications (like my UBL stylesheets), it is advantageous to 
employ this overwrite ability.

You set them yourself.

Check page 73 of the freely downloadable excerpt of our XSL-FO book; follow 
the link in my trailer below to the "Books & free excerpts" link on our 
home page.

Looking at page 73 you'll see how the body margins "push in" the body 
within the page margins.

The extent is how far the perimeter region extends from the page margins 
into the body region ... without sufficient room, you will get overwrite.

The page margins constrain everything, the body margins constrain the body 
region within the page margins, the perimeter extents constrain the size of 
the perimeter as it reaches in towards the body.

Same thing.

Note, however, that the XSL-FO 1.0 spec ignores padding for perimeter 
region ... only the use of the extent= is defined in the spec.

I hope this helps.
