Such queries are not possible in XSL-FO.  XSL-FO is processed at a 
distance from XSLT.  There is no feedback loop to communicate 
formatting position or information back to the transformation process.

If you describe your layout objective instead of describing a 
particular functionality then perhaps someone on the board can 
suggest an XSL-FO-based approach to achieve your layout objective.

I hope this helps.
