Summary: uri should be a hyperlink

Initial Comment:
<uri>http://foo.com</uri>
is rendered as
<tt>http://foo.com</tt>
while it should be
<a href="http://foo.com"><tt>http://foo.com</tt></a>
I know I can wrap it into a ulink element, 
but it would be a waste on my part.
also, FO will render the element as
http://foo.com [http://foo.com]
which is rather ugly.

Jirka is right. The current behavior is by design.

If you want it to generate a hyperlink, then the right
way to do that is to wrap it in a ulink. Or just use a
ulink and don't use uri at all.

URI shouldn't generate hyperlink. See processing 
expectations in TDG:

http://docbook.org/tdg/en/html/uri.html

URI element is intended to capture URI that shouldn't be 
considered as links -- e.g. XML namespaces.
