XSLT processing corrupts character encoding

[Christian Mallwitz <c.mallwitz@xxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hi folks,

In a very simple example I want to change XML tag names from 'persons' and
'person' to 'humans' and 'human' respectively. The XML and XSLT file are
attached. Both are UTF-8 encoded - the XML file containing German Umlauts
and an Euro currency symbol as an example. Additionally I have attached the
result file. 

After Processing the tag names are changed correctly but the encoding was
corrupted as the result file is NOT UTF-8 encoded. The German Umlauts are
ISO-8859-1 encoded while the Euro symbol is included as character reference
(which is correct but not intended). 

Can anybody tell me if my XML or XSLT file are not correct? 

I'm using JDK1.2.2/Xerces-1.0.1/Xalan-0.19.2 for processing the files as in:
java org.apache.xalan.xslt.Process -IN encoding-test.xml -XSL
encoding-test.xslt -OUT encoding-test-out.xml

Thanks in advance
Christian

BTW: If I choose HTML as output methode the German Umlauts appear as HTML
names entities and the Euro symbol is complete rubish ...
