Presumably your 3rd party software is generating ISO-8859-1 encoding? Have
you tried setting your output encoding attribute in the xsl:output element
to ISO-8859-1 and getting rid of your meta literal result element? Let the
xsl:output element do as much work as you can. You can set doctypes there,
too.
