"?" usually indicates that you had a Unicode character that could not be
represented in whatever encoding was being used to encode the string as bytes.  

It also indicates that this substitution occurred at a point when it was no
longer known that the string contained markup (if it was known that it was XML
or HTML, then the unencodable character would've been replaced with   or
 ).

Based on your other messages, I'd say this transcoding is happening when you
get a UTF-16 string from the XSLT processor and are converting it to
iso-8859-1 for output.

You need to stop getting that UTF-16 string in the first place, because the
no-break space character in there is apparently going to be directly encoded
as 0x00A0, byte order notwithstanding... not escaped as   or  .
