When using MSXML (or any other processor, but the MSXML API seems to
encourage the problem), the xsl:output encoding has no effect unless the
encoding is actually performed by the XSLT processor. If you write to a
destination such as a DOM document or a String, then the XSLT processor
writes characters, not bytes, and the final translation to bytes is done by
someone else, downstream.

# If I add to the XSL:
# <xsl:output method="html" encoding="ISO-8859-1" /> It does
# not make any difference to the output.
# The problem is happening further down the pipeline.
#
# Possibly in the parser?
#
# If I use Xalan to parse it I get:
# <META http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html;
# charset=ISO-8859-1">
#
# If I use MSXML to parse it I get
# <META http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=UTF-16">
#
# I think that I need to change response.charset
#
# I wonder if this is what has caused the erroneous ? marks.
