[xsl] Re: U+ conversion to Unicode characters

["M V" <htmlhack@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

If anyone can offer guidance on this it would be greatly appreciated.  I 
know encoding questions are very common, and are oftentimes answered in the 
FAQ, but I can't seem to find anything on how to handle this type of 
instance.

I've tested a few instances with an XSL conversion using UTF-8, for example 
& # x0061;& # x02DB, and the charcters display separately -- lowercase a 
followed by an ogonek.  The behavior seems perfectly logical, but I was 
expecting (hoping for) something different -- lowercase a with an ogonek 
attached ( or & # x00105;).

Many thanks,
-m
