    This is what I have in my custom template it works for XEP and FOP

    <!--colored and hyphenated links -->
    <xsl:template match="ulink">
    <fo:basic-link external-destination="{@url}"
            xsl:use-attribute-sets="xref.properties"
            text-decoration="underline"
            color="blue">
            <xsl:choose>
            <xsl:when test="count(child::node())=0">
            <xsl:value-of select="@url"/>
            </xsl:when>
            <xsl:otherwise>
            <xsl:apply-templates/>
            </xsl:otherwise>
            </xsl:choose>
            </fo:basic-link>
    </xsl:template>
