"ERR XT1190] It is a non-recoverable dynamic error if a resource
contains octets that cannot be decoded into permitted XML characters
using the specified encoding. This includes the case where the
processor does not support the requested encoding." 

"[ERR XT1200] It is a non-recoverable dynamic error if the second
argument of the unparsed-text function is omitted and the processor
cannot infer the encoding using external information and the encoding
is not UTF-8."

So you should indicate the encoding is EBCDIC, and if your processor
doesn't support it, you will get the first error.

Otherwise, you are likely to get the second error.

If it IS EBCDIC and the processor supports this encoding, then you
see a Unicode string as the result (everything within XSLT is Unicode).
