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.

Hi Dave,
The DocBook XSL stylesheets can already insert zero-width spaces for
long URLs.  See this reference:

Thanks Bob... I think :-)
I had

<xsl:param name="ulink.hyphenate">&#x200B;</xsl:param>
I have added
<xsl:param name="ulink.hyphenate.chars">/</xsl:param>
I ran that and I'm still getting squashed, long lines?
src
<link
xlink:href="http://money.cnn.com/magazines/fortune/fortune_archive/2004/02/23/362182/index.htm";>http://money.cnn.com/magazines/fortune/fortune_archive/2004/02/23/362182/index.htm</link>

Screenshot attached?

Attached (if it gets through) the horrible looking result when
justification is on and the line includes a url of any length.
1. I'd like to have justified text (param alignment='justified'),
but if it contains a url...
(Yes, not easy)
or
2. How to persuade the formatter to hyphenate url's at / or similar
to make it look better?
Using xep

Half a solution

<xsl:template match="d:link">
<xsl:copy>
<xsl:copy-of select="@*"/>
<xsl:value-of select="replace(.,'/','/&#x200b;')"/>
</xsl:copy>
</xsl:template>

As a pre-process.
  Still looks ugly using justified text.... though OK when left
justified.

I somehow don't think I can do better than this.

Any suggestions appreciated.
