output encoding="iso-8859-1"

Hi All,

Another encoding question.  My apologies, but the other threads didn't help
me.  I am transforming this xml: ( The special characters are an a with an
accent and then the degree sign )

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<?xml-stylesheet type="text/xsl" href="Untitled2.xsl"?>
<start>
á °
</start>

with this xsl:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<xsl:stylesheet version="1.0"
xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform"
xmlns:fo="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Format">
<xsl:output method="html" encoding="iso-8859-1"/>
<xsl:template match="start">
        <xsl:value-of select=".">
        </xsl:value-of>
</xsl:template>
</xsl:stylesheet>

and I get:
&#6192;

What character reference is the &#6192?  This is supposed to be ISO-8859-1
isn't it?  Then how come I can't seem to find the character code for 6192
decimal?  And also, what happened to the 2 distinct characters from the
source xml?

Any help is much appreciated,
Thanks,
Dan
