Re: Symbol handling in XSLT

O.k.
So what difference does it make if it writes characters not bytes?
If the MSXML (Which I am coming to dislike) uses UTF-16 as a default
then this means that it will interpret any entity ie. &NBSP; as a ?.
So By getting it to write out a meta-tag with encoding="ISO-8859-1" This
I presume will not put the entity replacement ? in the code.
So how do I get MSXML to write:
<xsl:output method="html" encoding="ISO-8859-1" />
instead of:
<META http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=UTF-16">
?

When using MSXML (or any other processor, but the MSXML API seems to
encourage the problem), the xsl:output encoding has no effect unless the
encoding is actually performed by the XSLT processor. If you write to a
destination such as a DOM document or a String, then the XSLT processor
writes characters, not bytes, and the final translation to bytes is done by
someone else, downstream.
