RE: [xsl] Re: encoding error when using cdata

I strongly suspect that you are using the DOM serializer rather than the
XSLT serializer. Check the code used to run the transformation: if you are
sending the result to a DOM destination, then the XSLT processor is not
doing the serialization, and everything you say in xsl:output is ignored.
