Hi Oleg,
Thanks for your reply. I'll try your suggestion, and
let you know if I face any problem.

I am writing a XSL-FO stylesheet to display a
report
from XML data. I have to write a header, footer
and
body area of report. The report header is of 3
lines
followed by body(which will display actual
records).

I am using <fo:static-content
flow-name="xsl-region-before"> to display header
content, and <fo:flow flow-name="xsl-region-body">
to
display report data.

The 1st two lines of header display some text, and
*the 3rd line of header must be blank*.

I am facing problem to specify the blank line of
header. I have specified  fo:region-body
margin-top="20mm" (in fo:simple-page-master)to
leave
space between header and body. 

Is there a better way to specify blank line in
header,
which will act as seperator with body? I do not
wish
to specify fo:region-body margin-top="20mm" for
this
purpose.. 

What's wrong with it? Don't forget regions can
overlap so if don't provide 
enough space for region-before it'll overlap
region-body. Alternatively 
consider using fo:table with fo:table-header and
fo:table-body to get rid of 
overlapping, because table body never overlaps table
header, so placing 3 
lines in a header would be enough. You can guarantee
empty line by using line 
separator character followed by fo:leader for
instance.
Line of text &#8232;<fo:leader/>
