Thanks for that, David! I have become so accustomed to using Sarissa that I sometimes forget what life was like before Manos made this availlable.

Another +1 for Sarissa (and, of course, for Manos) :D

I sort of remember some encoding issues; something about MSXML having insisting on using UTF-16 for output using certain API bindings.

It does have a preference for utf16 because one of its methods outputs
to some string type thats always utf16 string, but that isn't a
conformance issue: an xslt1 system is explictly allowed to ignore the
encoding hint on xsl:output. A common "problem" people have with msxml
is that they output the whole result as a msxml dom and that dom is then
later serialised by dom serialisation methods (eg .xml), in which case
all of the serialisation is outside xslt's control and xsl:output is
completely ignored. This again is conformant (if confusing) and also
happens with other systems that allow the in-memory result tree to be
passed down some pipeline.
