RE: Wierd MSXML3 Behaviour.

I've had to use encoding="windows=1252" which worked good for me

Subject: Wierd MSXML3 Behaviour.


Details:
- July MSXML3.

- XSL Sheet as follows: i.e. identity sheet.

<?xml version="1.0" ?>
<xsl:stylesheet version="1.0"
xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform">
  <xsl:output method="xml" encoding="utf-8"/>
  <xsl:template match="/ | @* | node()">
    <xsl:copy>
      <xsl:apply-templates select="@* | node()"/>
    </xsl:copy>
  </xsl:template>
</xsl:stylesheet>

Different results if transformed in different ways. All in ASP. Variable
"renderedXML" was created using the line renderedXML=""

Method 1):
"renderedXML=xmlDOMParam.TransformNode(xslDOMParam.documentElement)"
UTF-16 appears in the resulting XML, but the XML is not displayed in IE5,
IE5 produces the error "Switch from current encoding to specified encoding
not supported."
No matter what encoding I put in the XSL stylesheet, MSXML simply seems to
ignore it and force UTF-16.


Method 2):

"xmlDOMParam.transformNodeToObject xslDOMParam.documentElement, tempXMLDom
renderedXML=tempXMLDom.xml"

In this scenario, IE5 parses the XML quite merrily, but this time, the
resulting XML has no encoding whatsoever, again, MSXML 3 seems to ignore the
UTF encoding, but this way rather than force UTF-16 as in (1), it simply
doesn't put anything there.

Method 3):

"xmlDOMParam.transformNodeToObject xslDOMParam.documentElement, Response".
This works fine, the encoding does appear in the resulting XML whichever
encoding I try (I've only tried UTF-8 or UTF-16).

Has anyone else found this? It seems most bizarre and inconsistent. Has
anyone tried any of these in the September MSXML3?
Someone else must have, I'm trying something so simple.
