So am I and I'm not seeing the same baseline being used.  Not that I think 
it will help, but you are missing telling us about one attribute:

The following FO file that I tried to create from your last message clearly 
is not using the same baseline on the resulting screen ... could you please 
check this against your generated FO file?

Or can you try the file below directly in XSL Formatter without a 
stylesheet (this methodology was how I learned a lot of XSLFO, just by 
trying things out ... my book hyperlinks to the specification so I used the 
initial skeleton of hyperlinks in my own book to learn the language to fill 
out the book).

If the text below doesn't look like your text, then perhaps there are 
ancestral inherited attributes you aren't telling us about?
