The problem isn't with your source or your XSLT.
You are outputting the file in utf8 encoding (which is the default for
XML, and supported by every XML application)

But you are reading the file in a system set up for latin 1 encoding.

So your problem is with whatever software you are using to read the
file, if it claims to be an XMl system it ought to have defaulted to
utf8 and done the right thing, if it's a general text editor you may need
to manually switch it to that encoding.

Alternatively you could put <xsl:output encoding="iso-8859-1"/>
in your xsl stylesheet and output as latin 1. this will make the file
work in your system but it is less portable as XML systems are not
forced to support latin 1.
