[xep-support] Absolute position relative to container

I want to align some block-containers within a containing block. I'm not sure if that is possible, or maybe I need a different document structure.

<fo:block>
                Some stuff
                <fo:block-container width="3cm" height="4cm" position="absolute" top="1cm" left="5cm">
                                Some other stuff
                </fo:block-container>
</fo:block>

So what I want is for the block-container to be positioned 1cm from the top and 5cm from the left of the top left corner of the parent block.

When I try this, position is relative to the xsl-region-body.

What am I doing wrong? I realise that the container is taken out of the flow, so this is obviously not the right way to do it.
