This is not a correct interpretation.  The areas are allowed to overlap.

Indeed I rely on this behaviour in the 
publicly-available UBL business document 
stylesheets.  I "paint" the background of the 
page by drawing a complete page's worth of 
<region-before>, and then in the holes of 
untouched canvas I render the business document 
content using the <region-body> overlapped on top.

If the stylesheet writer does not want the 
behaviour I take advantage of, the onus is to 
create a perimeter margin of the <region-body> at 
least as large as the extent= of the perimeter 
region in order to avoid overlap.

I hope this helps.

p.s. the UBL stylesheets (and a couple other 
XSL-FO resources) can be downloaded from our web 
site's "Free resources" link on the home page linked below.
