RE: Is it a well-formedness error to use a character not in theencoding

Hi Folks,

Suppose I have an XML document with encoding="US-ASCII" and an XSLT transform also with encoding="US-ASCII"

The XSLT transform inputs the XML document and then outputs an XML document (I'll call it results.xml)

Shouldn't the encoding in results.xml also be US-ASCII? I ran a couple tests and I get encoding="UTF-8". Is that a bug?

/Roger
