You are very close ... read Chapter 7, the example on page 204 shows the 
definition of before and after regions *inside* of simple page masters with 
different region names.

<static-content flow-name="first-page-before">....
<static content flow-name="other-page-before">....
<flow>....

Correct, but you have two differently-name regions, one in each of the two 
different simple page masters.

Indirectly through the region names.  See bottom of page 197.

>is this the correct way of doing first of all??

Close.

>Practical frmatting using XSL - FO but using psmi etc is not an option

PSMI is not appropriate for this, since all you are doing is sequencing and 
not in-the-flow triggering.

>as we need to adher to only w3c standards.

PSMI only uses standard W3C XSLT ... it just happens to be two-step instead 
of one-step ... in my opinion using PSMI still adheres to W3C ... you just 
don't need it for this part of the project.

I hope this helps.
