Sorry, of course you're right.  Still, the TeX magic doesn't work for 
RefDB ulinks and does work for other ulinks.  Here is what I do:

* In jadetex.cfg, I have \usepackage{url}

* In my driver file (Thesis.dsl) I have this (I didn't write it, I just
   found it online, so I don't know if it's the only way to do it):

(declare-flow-object-class formatting-instruction
        "UNREGISTERED::James Clark//Flow Object 
Class::formatting-instruction")

(element ulink
   (make sequence
     (if (node-list-empty? (children (current-node)))
         ; ulink url="...", /ulink
         (make formatting-instruction
           data: (string-append "\\url{"
                                (attribute-string (normalize "url"))
                                "}"))
         (if (equal? (attribute-string (normalize "url"))
                     (data-of (current-node)))
         ; ulink url="http://...", http://..., /ulink
             (make formatting-instruction data:
                   (string-append "\\url{"
                                  (attribute-string (normalize "url"))
                                  "}"))
         ; ulink url="http://...", some text, /ulink
             (make sequence
               ($charseq$)
               (literal " (")
               (make formatting-instruction data:
                     (string-append "\\url{"
                                    (attribute-string (normalize "url"))
                                    "}"))
               (literal ")"))))))

By separate email I will send a small TeX file in which the URL is 
wrapped correctly in the body text but the RefDB URL is not.
