Re:  an actual MS IE XSLT issue
Hi,

I see in the headers that the MIME type is text/html and the encoding is 
ISO-8859-1 whereas in XML the declaration specifies utf-8

To avoid encoding troubles, you should send your documents with a MIME 
type application/xml or others like those indicated in RFC-3023

As I understand, sending documents in text/html indicates to the HTTP 
server that it can encode the document with a charset that is 
potentially incompatible with those of the XML document; application/xml 
let it send as-is

Though, not sure that this is related to your problem
