As Ken already commented XSLT works with teh Uniocde characters not 
their UTF8 representation (By the time XSLT is processing them the 
original file encoding is not relevant).

If you use

<xsl:output  encoding="US-ASCII" omit-xml-declaration="yes"/>

then all non ASCII characters will be output using NCR automatically.
