If you are using FOP, you should set the stylesheet
parameter 'fop.extensions' to 1.  That should eliminate
the region-body error.  I'm not sure why you didn't get it
before you added the table.

The xml:base noise is annoying, and can be eliminated
by switching to version 4.3 of the DocBook DTD, which
includes xml:base in the set of common attributes.  That
version is currently in beta, but not likely to change a lot.
