Re: [docbook-apps] db 5, para formatting, fo output

Hi Dave,
The feature is applied only when the link element is empty, when the stylesheet is 
processing the url attribute to make the displayed link text.  I think that is the 
correct behavior, because the text content of link is arbitrary, and applying the url 
hyphenation process to arbitrary text could produce odd results.  So use:

<link 
xlink:href="http://money.cnn.com/magazines/fortune/fortune_archive/2004/02/23/362182/index.htm"/>

I'll update the reference page for this parameter.
