[xsl] Problem with XT and encoding?

[Mark Kennedy <MarkK@xxxxxxxx>]

Hello, all:

I'm having a problem with transformations using XT when using characters
that are outside of the standard ASCII 127, and I can't figure out why. In
the following examples, the » is character 187 in ISO-8859-1 (Latin 1). That
character (and seemingly any character greater than the standard 127) gets
turned into two characters, i.e. the » gets turned into »

I imagine this is some simple encoding issue, but I'm flummoxed. The only
other XSLT engine that I have available for testing is the MSXML in IE5, and
I don't get this result with it, though I don't really think that means
much.

I'm running the Win32 binary of XT on and NT machine.

Any suggestions are appreciated!

Input XML File:
<?xml version='1.0' encoding='ISO-8859-1'?>
 <test>»</test>

XSLT File:
<?xml version="1.0"?>
<xsl:stylesheet version="1.0"
xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform";>
 <xsl:output omit-xml-declaration="yes"/>

 <xsl:template match="/">
  <xsl:copy-of select="test"/>
 </xsl:template>

</xsl:stylesheet>

Resulting XML File:
<test>»</test>
