RE: change stylesheet encoding

David ; Michael,
Thanks. I am glad to see that I was wrong about some of the ideas I
had concerning stylesheet encodings compared to xml documents they
are transforming. Life is alot easier as a result.

What is wierd, is that a friend of mine tried to change the encoding
in his editor of one of my stylesheets. But it would not let him. The
editor said that the stylesheet had characters in it that violated
the encoding choice. My question comes from his experience with my
stylesheet.

Now, the solution is simple.
