I've included <xsl:output encoding="utf-8"/> into all of my
stylesheets and nothing has changed.

my ASP processor scripts use a class which builds XML based on some
session data and then transforms local.xsl, which imports master.xsl
(both of which have <xsl:output encoding="utf-8"/>).

You want to know more about the construction of the XML?

Its getting to the browser via the transform method of an xslt ASP object.
