I'll give that a try. Not sure this works, though, haven't tried it:

<xsl:template match="main">
  <xsl:value-of select="replace(unparsed-text('offended-xml-file.xml'), 
'&#x19;', '')" />
</xsl:template>

Using Saxon, set it to use the XML 1.1 feature to 'on', like this:

   java -jar saxon8.jar -1.1 -it main mytransform.xslt >new-output.xml

this may work and will remove all offending U+0019 chars. You must set 
the XML 1.1 features, because otherwise it cannot read any data (XML or 
otherwise) that contain non-XML 1.0 characters. The only character not 
allowed in XML 1.1 is U+0000.
