I receive documents in UTF-8 which may contain pound signs correctly
encoded as &163;. I need to style these into ASCII and so my style sheet
defines the output encoding - <xsl:output method="xml" indent="yes"
encoding="ISO-8859-1"/>.
That's latin1 not ascii
(ASCII is for people who think that "pound" means "#" and does not
include a pound (sterling) symbol.)
the sequence EF BF BD
Sounds like a bug but you may be able to use
encoding="US-ASCII"/>
so that the output really is ASCII, then pound signs will be output as
as a character reference such as &#A3; which may work better.
So long as your input file isn't being corrupted when moving between
systems.
For example your mail has the line
on two platforms ? one Windows,
which looks like
on two platforms \226 one Windows,
on my email reader which displays unprintable characters in octal.
octal 226 is byte 150 which is a non printing control character in
iso-8859-1 (I believe it may be something else in a windows code page)
