when i give this encoding tag

...you are making the assertion that the bytes of the file can be converted
to Unicode characters according to the iso-8859-1 character map.
and then save them using visual studio.net save
as encoding and i choose UTF-8(without signature)
...so it is a utf-8 file and you have mislabeled it as iso-8859-1. This is the
wrong thing to do. You are required by XML 1.0 to provide an accurate encoding
declaration. Change the declaration to encoding="utf-8" so that the XML parser
reading the file will be able to properly decode the file's bytes.
This is true for any XML, not just XSL.
