That's fine. It looks like a perfectly valid stylesheet.

Most likely you are getting utf8 or utf16 output (which is the default)
on a system that doesn't undersand those encodings. Any xml system must
understand them but if you just look at a file in a text editor it may
not (depending on your editor)

You can ask it what version it is
<xsl:message>
<xsl:value-of select=system-property('xsl:vendor')"/>
</xsl:message>
or in your caseL

<x:message>
<x:value-of select=system-property('x:vendor')"/>
</x:message>

most likely you want to generate an <x:output encoding="iso-8859-1" />
in your stylesheet.
