[xsl] placing graphics side by side with xsl-fo

I have no real experience with XSL-FO. I've been working on XML to XML 
transforms. However, I've been asked to modify an XSL-FO stylesheet to display 
subfigures side by side. Right now they are rendering one over the other.

Essentially, I need each <subfig> to render side by side, not over/under.

Here is the basic XML.

<figure>
<title>TITLE</title>
<subfig><graphic boardno="it1235"/></subfig>
<subfig><graphic boardno="it1234"/></subfig>
</figure>

The current templates:




<!--Figure Element -->

        <xsl:template match="figure">
                        <xsl:if test="@figtype='normal-page'">
                        <fo:block-container font-family="serif" 
font-size="10pt" keep-together.within-page="always" space-after.minimum="0pt" 
space-after.optimum="0pt" space-before.minimum="9pt" 
space-before.optimum="10pt" text-align="center" display-align="center">
                        <xsl:if test="descendant::graphic">
