No, probably not the best source.

FOP's conformance is listed at
http://xmlgraphics.apache.org/fop/compliance.html

It indicates that both 'height' and 'overflow' are implemented in 0.9.3.

I would like to point you to xmlroff (http://xmlroff.org), which is
similarly open source though written in C, but you may get even less joy
out of it.

One FOP-derivative is FOray (http://www.foray.org/).

Liam Quin maintains a list of XSL formatters on the W3C XSL page at
http://www.w3.org/Style/XSL/.

Some commercial products -- e.g., Antenna House
(http://www.antennahouse.com/) --- offer free evaluation versions.

If you are sticking with FOP, you may need to ask a question on the
fop-users mailing list (see
http://xmlgraphics.apache.org/fop/maillist.html).
