[xsl] Saxon8 beginner questions

Hi,
I do have same basic problems when using xslt and xpath with
saxon8. Below are xml, xsl, and cmd for my minimal test-case.

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" ?>
<?xml-stylesheet type="text/xsl" href="docv2_2.xsl"?>
<doc>
Test f|r XSLT 2.0
</doc>

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" ?>
<xsl:stylesheet version="2.0"
   xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform";>
<xsl:output method="html"
   doctype-public="-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Strict//EN"
   doctype-system="http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-strict.dtd";
   encoding="UTF-8"
   omit-xml-declaration="yes" />
<xsl:template match="/">
<html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml"; lang="de" xml:lang="de">
<head><title>Test f|r XSLT 2.0</title>
<link rel="stylesheet" href="Doku.css" type="text/css" />
</head><body>
   <h1><xsl:value-of select="." /></h1>
   <xsl:value-of select="current-date" /><br />
</body></html>
</xsl:template>
</xsl:stylesheet>

java -jar C:\Programme\Saxon\saxon8.jar C:\staudinger\xml\docv2_2.xml
docv2_2.xsl

Now my problems:
- it seems the output encoding="UTF-8" is not producing
  a <meta charset=UTF-8" /> as it should, but I'm unable
  to figure out why (despite I have seen it a few days ago)!
  I can see also uuml; instead of | in the output, which
  might be connected to the above.
- the function current-date seems to return a null string.
- empty xhtml tags are transformed into invalid sequences
  like <br></br>
- I specified CLASSPATH C:\Programme\Saxon\saxon8.jar
  (nothing else) as a system environment variable (winnt sp6)
  to no effect: when I omit the CLASSPATH the cmd above
  still works, and when I try java -jar saxon8.jar ... I get the msg
  "Unable to access jarfile saxon8.jar" and Exit code: 1
- I would like to get a hint how to specify a minimum CLASSPATH
  for this configuration: JDK 1.5 plus Saxon 8B.
  I've installed java version "1.5.0_04"
  Java(TM) 2 Runtime Environment, Standard Edition (build 1.5.0_04-b05)
  Java HotSpot(TM) Client VM (build 1.5.0_04-b05, mixed mode, sharing)

I like Saxon very much especially for being able to take a look on the
output.
Is there any way to see what Firefox or IE6 produce?
