[xsl] Character Encoding Problem

Hi,
  We're trying to create a java properties file using XSLT 2.0 in Saxon. The 
input is XML encoded as UTF-8. The properties file needs to be encoded as 
ISO-8859-1. The character giving the problem, in the input file, is &#x201c; 
which is a left hand double quote. Looking at the ISO-8859-1 character set the 
closest character appears to be a double quote - with no hand (left/right).
  Should I expect other errors like this when going from a large character set 
to a smaller more restricted set? It seems like this should be handled more 
gracefully with a missing character "box" and maybe a warning message.
  Has anyone run into this situation before and how did you handle it?
Thanks,
  Craig Sampson

Here's the XSL code:

                     <xsl:result-document href="{$fnameHref}" indent="no"
                           method="text" encoding="ISO-8859-1" 
include-content-type="no">
                           <xsl:apply-templates />
                     </xsl:result-document>

But we're getting encoding errors about a character not being available.
