 You can change the encoding of the output of the stylesheet by adding

<xsl:output method='html' encoding='iso-8859-1'/>

(or use whatever encoding the browser is set for).

This will probably be the easiest thing to do.  By default, an xml file
is supposed to be in utf-8 (or possibly in utf-16 if the document starts
with the right "byte order mark"), and if the viewer is trying to use
single-byte encodings, you will see those extra, odd characters whenever
the character in utf-8 has more than one byte.
