Yeah, thats a typo but it makes no difference

Its all come about because I wanted to produce xhtml - by adding the
xsl:output element:

<xsl:output
	
doctype-system="http://www.w3.org/TR/2000/REC-xhtml1-20000126/DTD/xhtml1
-strict.dtd"
  	doctype-public="-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Strict//EN"
  	method="xml"
	encoding="utf-8"/>

I inadvertantly added the encoding attribute, which led to IE not
selecting unicode.

xsl:output

detect

True, but &#160; is a non-breaking-space in anyones markup.

btw, the <meta> tag only gets inserted if you have a <head> in your
output, but yes it does seem to force IE to use unicode (msxml3/4) and
utf-8 (saxon).
