That certainly does explain quite a lot.

There is no way to align the end of one flow with the end of another 
flow ... multiple flows start together, but in XSL-FO 1.1 they cannot 
be specified to end together.

Also in XSL-FO 1.1 there are no synchronization constructs between 
multiple flows.  You cannot align the presence of something in one 
flow with a corresponding construct in the other flow.  I belive this 
has been identified for some future XSL-FO 2.

Have you considered using floats or footnotes for the items and 
descriptions, rather than multiple flows?
