I really wish Michael Kay, as an Englishman, would make his mail software
put his name with his first name first, family name last. :)

It's an encoding issue, as David was saying. The problem is not so much
what's in your stylesheet, but what encoding you're getting upon output,
and what your browser is assuming about the encoding. I suspect that if
you use xsl:output to ensure that your HTML is output in the encoding your
browser expects, or if you ensure that your HTML contains the appropriate
meta element declaring the encoding, then you will see the results you
expect.
