Either the help's wrong or Brad's interpreting it incorrectly (or perhaps I'm misinterpreting what Brad's saying). The encoding specified by an XML declaration indicates the encoding for the XML document in which the XML declaration is used. Changing the encoding for the stylesheet (what I think Brad's suggesting) will have no effect on the encoding used in the output of the transformation. The only thing within XSLT that does have an effect on the encoding used in the output of the transformation is the encoding attribute on xsl:output: <xsl:output encoding="Shift-JIS" /> but that only has an effect if the XSLT processor has control of the serialization of the result constructed through the transformation. When you use MSXML to run a transformation, if you access the result of the transformation as a string, the string is always in UTF-16 because MSXML's XSLT processor isn't in charge of the serialization. To put the XSLT processor in charge of the serialization, and thus get a different encoding, you need to send the result of the transformation to an object rather than access it as a string. See the MSXML documentation on the 'output' property of IXSLProcessor for a description.
