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>
