I believe you need relative-align="baseline".

When I render this with FOP 0.94 and XEP 4.11, the baselines of the list
item label and the list item body don't line up vertically, because the
large external graphic pushes down the baseline of the body. I expected
the baseline of the label to be pushed down an equivalent amount based on
this text in XSL 1.1 section 6.8.1:
The placement, in the block-progression-direction, of the label with
respect to the body is made in accordance with the "vertical-align"
property of the fo:list-item.
I note in 7.31.22 that XSL-FO interprets vertical-align= as a
shorthand for a number of properties, none of which are relative-align=.
In my work I've found relative-align= accomplishes what I need in
this regard, both with lists and with table cells ... without which
fonts smaller than the lines of the "other" parts will appear to be
superscripted. Note the initial value of relative-align= is the
before edge, which "pulls up" the smaller font.
I hope this helps.
