RE: [xsl] output encoding problem (second try)

---

---

I don't know if I'm the only regular on this list who generally makes a
point of not following links, especially links that cause programs to
execute. It's partly general caution, partly that I'm always busy, and
partly in a case like this because I don't think following the link will
tell me much, since there is so much happening between the output of the
XSLT transformation and the pixels that I see in my browser window.

What's needed is to look at the input and output files of the transformation
directly (with a hex editor) to see:

(a) what the declared encoding is (what's in the XML declaration)
(b) what the actual encoding is (what hex codes are used to represent E D V)

The chances are that the two don't match.
