The answer is to call MSXML in such a way that the output goes to a stream
and not to a DOM. If you send the transformation output to a DOM and then
use the DOM serializer, the xsl:output element has no effect.

That will put something that looks like an XML declaration into the output
stream, but do you really want the output just to say it's encoded in
ISO-8859-1, or do you want it actually to be encoded in ISO-8859-1?
