Markers seem to be a great idea. 
But I have difficulties in implementing it.

In my flow I use the following definition:
<fo:flow flow-name="xsl-region-body">
   <fo:marker marker-class-name="target">
      <fo:block id="{$id}"/>
   </fo:marker>
   ...

In the static content
<fo:retrieve-marker 
	retrieve-class-name="target" 
	retrieve-position="first-starting-within-page" 
	retrieve-boundary="page"/>

There is no other element with this ID. But when my flow overflows the page, the link still points to the last page - like that ID would be in every header (althought there is no marker on that particular page). That retrieve-position value should be, according to http://www.w3.org/TR/xsl11/#retrieve-position exactly what I need. Am I missing something?

Regards,
Jan
