Adam, the IF was designed to be fast and is therefore not very verbose. If you need to refer to an ID, you have to use the Area Tree XML (AT) like Georg said.
On page, page-sequence and image, the IFSerializer writes out any foreign attributes (non-fo namespace) that exist in the XSL-FO. But that doesn't work on blocks and such because the semantics of XSL-FO don't exist in IF anymore. Implementing a FOP extension on this level is going to be rather difficult. As another work-around, you could do something like this: <fo:block space-after="-1.2em">HERE!</fo:block> You can then look for and extract the <text> element with "HERE!". The -1.2em compensates for the size of the block.
