Attaching text to bottom of page

Is there a way to attach text to the bottom of page 
without making it part of a footer?  
I have a variable content page but I always want to 
have disclaimer text right above the footer without 
making it part of the footer.

Thanks for any help!

RE: Attaching text to bottom of page

Finally, I solved my problem by using a <fo:footnote>
like this :
<fo:footnote>
    <fo:inline/>
    <fo:footnote-body>
        <fo:block>my text to be placed at bottom of a page</fo:block>
    </fo:footnote-body>
</fo:footnote>

Many thanks,
Etienne Baert

Why would it not be _in_ the footer? This sounds like splitting hairs. An
XSL-FO footer merely consists of stuff that needs to be at the bottom of
pages, possibly based on page number but regardless of content. If your
disclaimer fits those criteria it belongs in the XSL footer (stuff in a
region-after, for example).

Is there something here we aren't aware of? :-)

Well, not really, as with footnotes they are cross-references
from and to the body text, which I don't need in my case.
The disclaimer has simply to be present and to be placed
at the bottom of the page, just above the footer.

Do you mean you want a footnote?

A footnote will be placed at the bottom of the body region and the area
for the flow will be reduced.
