 From this error message, I'd guess that you've parsed your XML into a 
DOM Document using a parser which a) doesn't support namespaces, or b) 
has namespace support turned off (most likely the latter).

This would (I'd guess) mean that the parser would see no namespaces at 
all (hence 'anonymous namespace') and an element called 'fo:root'. An 
XSL:FO document is required to have a root element called 'root' in the 
appropriate (non-anonymous) namespace.

I haven't tested this, but it looks pretty plausible.
