You are creating an output element in your html, which html is not going to understand. You need to use a meta tag, as previously mentioned.

The other problem is that by default your output is going to be in UTF-8, unless you have set the serializer to output something different. For example, in Java you can use the Transformer.setOutputProperty() method to override the encoding in the stylesheet.

Hallo,
we want to hold the charset of the stylesheet flexibel. Is it well formed to
give no encoding in the xml declaration but in the output element?

Many thanks,
markus
