If you have an XML parser that will read iso-8859-7, you only need to
worry about converting the output from the XSLT processor. If this is the
case, I'd suggest using Free Recode to post-process the XML ... Something
like 'recode u8..l7 <in.xml >out.xml'. And then you also have to change
the XML declaration to <?xml version="1.0" encoding="iso-8859-7"?>

A similar process could be used if you can't parse iso-8859-7 on the way
into the XSLT processor. Change the prolog to say utf-8 and run the
document through recode l7..u8.
