Dear M. Shafie,

Thank you for your swift reply; some answers below,
Best regards,

No, agreed. We were just mentioning FTP because it makes the workaround a 
little bit more tedious... :(.

I am afraid we have already fixed the document now because we needed urgently 
yesterday. But any non ASCII character added in @url will cause this issue 
(they appear as small squares in the attributes editor).
Note that we normally spot easily  these problems  with local files when we try 
to preview a PDF version since the DocBook XSLT stylesheets crash... This time 
it was more difficult.

Of course, it's a bit specific...

You need to have both Windows and Linux available on the same screen... -- : 
suffices then to copy an URL containing an "end of line"  from Windows (e.g. 
from an Outlook message), and to paste it under Linux in a @url attribute...

We will provide you with a small DocBook document showing the issue, it that 
helps to fix the bug in XXE.
