Not so difficult for the side-regions, though, as the static-contents are generally mapped to very specific region-references. That is just a property lookup in the FO tree. For flow descendants, if the flow is just generically mapped to 'xsl-region-body' (= the only option FOP currently supports) it may be significantly harder to solve, since it is only known much, much later which page-master will actually be used, and hence which exact region-body needs to be looked at.
