    Hello,

    I upgraded to XEP 3.5.3 (Cleint Stamped) and observed the following behaviour:

    My setup:

    OS: Windows 2000
    java version "1.4.0"
    Java(TM) 2 Runtime Environment, Standard Edition (build 1.4.0-b92)
    Java HotSpot(TM) Client VM (build 1.4.0-b92, mixed mode)

    Same on Mac OS X 10.2.6 (Jaguar) w/ latest JVM (don't remember the version, though (1.4.x))

    When I use DocBook stylesheets to produce PDf, using <ulink/> elements to local files (file://), XEP will crash, typically with the following Exception:

      generate [output-format pdf][page-number 1]error: formatting failed: java.lang.NullPointerException

    A typical fo:basic-link that causes such problems looks like the following:

    <fo:basic-link
       external-destination="url(file:///\\someserver\somefolder\myfile.xml)">my basic link</fo:basic-link>

    Other file:// URL's like "url(file://file.test)" also failed, so I guess it's not the backslashes ... :)

    I also tried http:// URL's like "url(http://www.somedomain.that.does.not.exist)", but these didn't pose any problem.

    I think this might be a problem with the revised URL escaping, but of course, this is just an assumption.

    If you need some FO evidence, just le me know.

    Best regards,
    Johann Richard
