Ken, I'd love to see your code for this.
I can't get it to work as shown in the example,
using xep or ah.

I just added the following flow to the end of his example (his example didn't have any flow to work with):


  <fo:flow>
    <fo:block space-before="2cm">
      <fo:marker marker-class-name="series-title">Title here!</fo:marker>
This is a test.</fo:block>
    <fo:block space-before="2cm">This is a test.</fo:block>
    <fo:block space-before="2cm">This is a test.</fo:block>
    <fo:block space-before="2cm">This is a test.</fo:block>
    <fo:block space-before="2cm">This is a test.</fo:block>
    <fo:block space-before="2cm">This is a test.</fo:block>
    <fo:block space-before="2cm">This is a test.</fo:block>
    <fo:block space-before="2cm">This is a test.</fo:block>
    <fo:block space-before="2cm">This is a test.</fo:block>
    <fo:block space-before="2cm">This is a test.</fo:block>
    <fo:block space-before="2cm">This is a test.</fo:block>
    <fo:block space-before="2cm">This is a test.</fo:block>
    <fo:block space-before="2cm">This is a test.</fo:block>
    <fo:block space-before="2cm">This is a test.</fo:block>

    <fo:block space-before="2cm">This is a test.</fo:block>
    <fo:block space-before="2cm">This is a test.</fo:block>
    <fo:block space-before="2cm">This is a test.</fo:block>
    <fo:block space-before="2cm">This is a test.</fo:block>
    <fo:block space-before="2cm">This is a test.</fo:block>
    <fo:block space-before="2cm">This is a test.</fo:block>
    <fo:block space-before="2cm">This is a test.</fo:block>
    <fo:block space-before="2cm">This is a test.</fo:block>
    <fo:block space-before="2cm">This is a test.</fo:block>
    <fo:block space-before="2cm">This is a test.</fo:block>
    <fo:block space-before="2cm">This is a test.</fo:block>
    <fo:block space-before="2cm">This is a test.</fo:block>
    <fo:block space-before="2cm">This is a test.</fo:block>
    <fo:block space-before="2cm">This is a test.</fo:block>
  </fo:flow>
</fo:page-sequence>
</fo:root>

You will see under Antenna House that the series title correctly shows up on each of the second and subsequent pages according to the page sequence. The original poster wasn't seeing the marker in the header and I'm seeing the marker in the header just fine.

Readers should note, however, that my placing of the marker in only the first block instead of in a block that wraps the other blocks associates the marker with *only* the first block ... the combination of retrieve-boundary="page-sequence" and retrieve-position="first-starting-within-page" means the above will work without having to do the wrapping. When dealing with the last block for a marker, you must wrap the set of blocks with a block with the marker being the first child of the wrapper block.

I hope this helps.
