Each region can have its own background, so you can use
background-image= on <region-body>.
To get "the whole page" you will need to have the body region extend
to the page dimensions, which is not really desirable for top and
bottom margins.
Yes, I noticed.
An alternative is to parcel out a whole page background into bits
that are set as the backgrounds of the respective perimeter regions
and body region.
<sigh> I was hoping you wouldn't say that. Oh well. I guess I will chalk
that up as something else XSLFO can't do.
Well you can also use an absolutely positioned block-container with
a background-image; for example:
<fo:root xmlns:fo="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Format";>
<fo:layout-master-set>
<fo:simple-page-master master-name="page"
page-height="29.7cm" page-width="21cm"
margin-top="2cm" margin-bottom="2cm"
margin-left="3cm" margin-right="3cm">
<fo:region-body/>
</fo:simple-page-master>
</fo:layout-master-set>
<fo:page-sequence master-reference="page">
<fo:flow flow-name="xsl-region-body">
<fo:block-container absolute-position="absolute"
top="-2cm" left="-3cm" width="21cm" height="29.7cm"
background-image="path/to/the/image.png">
<fo:block/>
</fo:block-container>
<fo:block>
The document starts here...
...
</fo:block>
</fo:flow>
</fo:page-sequence>
</fo:root>
