[xep-support] Re: [error] Attribute 'background-image' cannot occur at element 'fo:simple-page-master'.

Using what I believe was XEP version 4.3, the fo:region-before will have its
background overwrite the foreground of the body. I had tried that a few times
and had no luck. There could have been other factors too, I suppose, since
absolute positioning vs relative positioning seems to affect the apparent
z-index. I also played with z-index and had no luck or affect there.
