XSLT error "Switch from current encoding to specified encoding not
supported"

Attempting to transform XML source doc to XML result via XSL stylesheet
and MSXML.

I get the following error. "Switch from current encoding to specified
encoding not supported"
And ..encoding="UTF-16"?> is added to the <?xml version="1.0" declaration.

How do i prevent the "switch" and remove the encoding statement? Source
code is below. Thanks very much
