Well, another option is to use encoding="US-ASCII"(*), which means that
unrepresentable characters will get encoded as numeric entities (ok, this
could make your documents much bigger when you use a lot of characters
outside of us-ascii). This should work with netscape, too (and it does
work with Opera, which does not support utf-8 yet...)

(*) of course your xsl processor has to support this encoding, but I think
    most of them do
