FOP 0.20.2 implements an old draft of the XSLFO 1.0 standard. FOP
0.94 implements a subset of the standard. Some important details
have changed, you'll have to rework your XSLT. Furthermore, FOP
0.94 validates the FO much more strictly by default.

This should never have worked, because you can't reassign a variable
in XSLT.

This is the expected outcome. Again, you probably have to rewrite your
XSLT rather thoroughly.
