Re: [xsl] Output: XML to XML scrambling unicode characters

[Wendell Piez <wapiez@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Mike,

It's off-topic for this list, but it might be worth noting for the EAD 
community that NoteTab Pro doesn't do Unicode. (Or if it does, it's not 
doing it for you.) NoteTab is a favorite among EADers, isn't it?

You are going to see alot of A characters with hats on them, and given the 
polyglottish EAD crowd, likely you'll hear a fair amount of howling. It's 
only fair: but it's the tool that's failing you.

Cheers,
Wendell
