DocBook v5 replaces ulink with link as documented in DocBook V5.0:The Transition Guide[1]. It looks like the XSL-NS Stylesheets are not handling ulink.show and ulink.footnotes though; setting the parameter to 1 doesn't cause the link to show up either inline or as a footnote.
I've attached a small sample v5 document and two sample stylesheets -- the XSL stylesheet works as expected (the footnote shows up) and the XSL-NS does not.
I'm using the 1.73.2 versions of the stylesheets.

Attached patch fixes problem in XSL-NS Stylesheets in a similar way that the non-NS stylesheets handle 5.0 docs; when an external link is detected, the ulink template is now called to handle the link.

Fixed in revision 7435. The fix handles display of URLs for @xlink:href instances on any element for which the simple.xlink template is called (not just the link element); simple.xlink is currently called for most inline elements.
Please test with the snapshot and let me know if it works for you as expected.
