<fo:footnote>
<fo:inline font-size="70%" baseline-shift="super">
<xsl:apply-templates/>
</fo:inline>
<fo:footnote-body>
<fo:list-block provisional-label-separation="2.5mm" provisional-distance-between-starts="10mm">
<fo:list-item>
<fo:list-item-label end-indent="label-end()">
<fo:block text-align="right"  text-indent="0pt" margin-left="0pt" font-size="8.5" font-style="normal">
<xsl:value-of select="//footnote[@id=$fnoteid]/footnum"/>
<xsl:choose>
<xsl:when test="$fnoteid = 1 to 9000"><xsl:text>.</xsl:text></xsl:when>
</xsl:choose>
</fo:block>
</fo:list-item-label>
<fo:list-item-body start-indent="body-start()">
<fo:block text-align="justify"  text-indent="0pt" margin-left="0pt" font-size="8.5" font-style="normal">

It may seem counter-intuitive but the fo:footnote element inherits properties from its ancestor formatting objects.

So, if a footnote descends from an fo:block element (or another block-level formatting object) with start-indent="1cm", the footnote body too will be indented!

To achieve the expected result, modify your template to add start-indent="0cm" to the fo:list-block element inside the fo:footnote-body. Similarly, you will have to "reset" other properties you don't want the fo:footnote-body to inherit (end-indent, spaces, font-size, ...).
