Re: xsl:fo Syntax?

XSL FO inhabit another namespace, different from XSLT, and are
processed with different tools. Instead of XSLT processors, look
for XSL FO formatters/renderers. Some examples are:
FOP: http://xml.apache.org/fop
FO2PDF: http://www.renderx.com/FO2PDF.html
Passive TeX: http://users.ox.ac.uk/~rahtz/passivetex/
CUEXsl: www.cuesoft.com
Most of them are work in progress however; there's still no complete
and fully conformant implementation.

You misspell the names of formatting objects. Should be fo:block,
fo:block-container (or any other prefix bound to XSL FO namespace,
http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Format).
As for examples, I dare suggest our collection of testcases at
http://www.RenderX.com/testcases.html. It refers to an outdated
version of XSL FO (1999-04-21) but still gives an idea of what
you can do with formatting objects ;-).
