OK that got me part way there. However if there is content above the block-container, it doesn't work:

But I have worked out that if I put a height on the blue block-container, it works:

Not sure I get the question, but like this?
<fo:flow flow-name="xsl-region-body">
<fo:block-container position="relative">
<fo:block>Some stuff</fo:block>
<fo:block-container width="3cm" height="4cm" position="absolute" top="1cm" left="5cm" background-color="red">
<fo:block>
Some other stuff
</fo:block>
</fo:block-container>
<fo:block-container width="3cm" height="4cm" position="absolute" top="2cm" left="3cm" background-color="green">
<fo:block>
Some other stuff
</fo:block>
</fo:block-container>
</fo:block-container>
</fo:flow>

Subject: [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.
