[xep-support] Page contents do not protrode onto bleed

[Mark Cilia Vincenti]

The purpose of the bleed is that so that when you have an image or a color
that needs to go to the very edge of the page, with a bleed you can make the
crop marks further in so that you can be sure that when the printers do the
cutting, the image/color goes to the very edge, because if they cut a bit
less otherwise there will be a white edge on the paper.

So is there no automatic way to do this with RenderX? Will I need to do it
manually using <fo:table>?
