The XSL-FO standard and processors support page-position="last", but the DocBook
stylesheets do not use it out of the box. This change would require some
customization to add a simple-page-master and modifying the page-sequence-master to
include it, something like this:
<fo:page-sequence-master master-name="body-custom">
<fo:repeatable-page-master-alternatives>
<fo:conditional-page-master-reference master-reference="body-first"
page-position="first"/>
<fo:conditional-page-master-reference master-reference="body-last"
page-position="last"/>
<fo:conditional-page-master-reference master-reference="body-odd"
page-position="rest"
odd-or-even="odd"/>
<fo:conditional-page-master-reference master-reference="body-even"
page-position="rest"
odd-or-even="even"/>
</fo:repeatable-page-master-alternatives>
</fo:page-sequence-master>
I presume you want to put the legalnotice in the static content on that page, so its
simple-page-master will need a larger bottom body margin and bottom extent. You'll
need to name the bottom region differently, and then add a new fo:static-content to a
custom version of the 'running.foot.mode' template. If you define that static content
directly, you won't need to put the content in the 'footer.content' template.
All this is a lot of trouble, of course. You might consider inserting an fo:footnote
at the end of a custom template matching on article. That will still place the
content at the bottom of the last page.
