    It works, and seems to be the easiest solution.

    Just for completeness, let me mention a couple of others:

    1) Use a space-filled leader instead of a space character:

         Where is the text<fo:leader leader-length="0.5em">?

    This is equivalent to the NBSP solution; it has a disadvantage
    of greater verbosity but lets you control the distance from the
    text to the question mark in a precise manner.

    2) Add some padding before the question mark:

         Where is the text<fo:inline padding-left="0.5em">?</fo:inline>

    Same advantages/disadvantages. This one is natural if your
    question mark should be made more visible to the Marketing:

      Where is the text<fo:inline padding-left="6pt" color="red"
                            font="16pt bold Impact">?</fo:inline>

    Best regards,
