My problem was that the browser (IE) did not correctly display " ",
because it was not automatically recognising the character set. I
tried changing the charset (in xsl:output) to iso-8859-1, but I still
had the same problem, that IE was displaying Á.

If I was creating the HTML by hand, I would insert   so what is
wrong with generating this through XSLT?

I don't understand. When I put the output into IE it displays " ". The
bare HTML has " " obviously (as desired), but the browser
correctly displays " ".

I assume we are talking at cross-purposes somehow.
