This is because of the underscore in "invoice_header". The underscore is =
not a
legal CSS character, which makes it an illegal rule and those should be i=
gnored
according to the spec.

In this case you can use an anonymous page. The following should work:

@page
{
  margin: 10%;
}

For your first page you can then say:

@page :first
{
  margin: 20%;
}

I think at least one of the columns has no explicit width. Combined with =
the
100% on the table this comes down to automatic table layout.

In CSS ex is a valid unit, but not in XSL-FO. I should document that.
