Oops...left out a line, make that:

 

  <xsl:if test="count(child::node()) != 0
                and string(.) != @url
                and $ulink.show != 0"

                and not(normalize-space(@role) = 'hideURL')">

 

And then put the following in your document:

<ulink role="hideURL" url="">Feedback</ulink>

I don't think the xsls support anything like that out of the box. You'd have to hack the ulink template in fo/xref.xsl to get it to do what you want. If I understand what you want to do correctly, something like this should work:

 

In fo/ulink.xsl, change:

 

  <xsl:if test="count(child::node()) != 0
                and string(.) != @url
                and $ulink.show != 0">

To:

 

  <xsl:if test="count(child::node()) != 0
                and string(.) != @url
                and $ulink.show != 0"

                and not(normalize-space(@role) = 'hideURL')">  

<ulink role="hideURL" url="">Feedback</ulink>

 

That would result in Feedback being hot, but no indication of what the link is to.

 

Instead you could have the xsl test for "mailto:" in the url--whatever suits you.
