I assume "last" in this context means last geometrically, as opposed to some other "last".
I'd think it's the last area generated and inserted in the area tree by the parent FO of the marker, if applicable. This is of course usually the last, geometrically, for some reasonably intuitive definition of "geometrically". Odd things may happen if the marker is attached to a footnode body of a footnote broken across several pages...
I think whoever wrote this portion (markers) made the spec too abstruse. I finally just broke my rule of adhering to the law, and considered the use cases, and decided what made sense. :-)
Heresy! :-)
If we are discussing odd stuff, is it really true that the blocks in a footnote body inherit the start-indent of the block which contains the footnote????? Actually, FOP does this, and I can't find anything in the spec providing for the contrary. Same applies to side floats, thereby perhaps leading to nice circularity problems...
