There is no support for bleeds in XSL-FO; nor does XEP support it.
Page size is translated into /MediaBox parameter of the page object;
moreover, all contents of the page is clipped to the same rectangle.
Right now, the only option is to set page size wide enough to include
all bleeds, and then postprocess the formatted result with some
preflight tool to set /BleedBox, /MediaBox, /TrimBox, /CropBox
and whatever other boxes you desire :-).
We are also pondering a possibility to set this information in the
XSL-FO file (via a processing instruction). However, the actual
market demand for this feature is not yet clear for us.
Best regards,
Nikolai Grigoriev
