Yes, That's right. fo:block-container and reference-orientation are not 
supported in the general case[*]. See 
http://www.xmlmind.com/foconverter/conformance.html

A possible workaround would be to generate the wide fo:block or fo:table 
in a page of its own, having a landscape orientation. Of course, this 
workaround is quite difficult to implement in the case of the DocBook 
XSL stylesheets.

[*] fo:block-container and reference-orientation are supported only to 
rotate the content of a table cell. See
