It should work but it depends on your encoding. If you use an iso-8859-1
editor to create the stylesheet you must specify encoding="iso-8859-1" in
the XML declaration.

I have a feeling Microsoft's XML parser auto-detects iso-8859-1 encoding. I
suspect this contravenes the XML specification, though it is a very handy
feature.

The select attribute is mandatory according to the XSLT 1.0 specification.
