Would you please attach an example that shows the effect that you describe? My
suspicion is that you don't take space conditionality into account. Please note
that the .conditionality part of space-before/space-after defaults to discard.
And if a space-before occurs at the beginning of a document (i.e. starting a
reference area) it may be discarded if it is conditional. AFAIK, XEP may have
some issues here. For more details, please see the XSL-FO specification at
http://www.w3.org/TR/xsl/slice4.html#area-space.

margin-top is a different beast. It is mapped to space-before and the
.conditionality component is set to retain (5.3.2 in the spec) so it shouldn't
be discarded. On the other side, we do have tests that verify that negative
values are properly handled. A short test shows me that everything is working as
expected. So please do provide a test file.
