RE: [xsl] global find and replace certain "special" characters and replicate structure as it is

["Michael Kay" <mhk@xxxxxxxxx>]

This suggests that the file is not UTF-8 but iso-8859-1. So you need to find
out why it has an incorrect encoding declaration. The transformation trusts
the encoding declaration on its input file, and produces wrong output
because the actual encoding is not what it says it is.
