Adding the <?xml version="1.0" encoding="ISO-8859-1"?> declaration to
the DTD did the trick. The second method works too.

Using <xsl:output encoding="ISO-8859-1"/> in the stylesheet handles it
as expected on output as well, so I can easily do everything I need to
do to manipulate data in Latin1 - hooray!
