Xselerator changes it to lowercase, regardless...

Ive read about how MSXML passes strings around which alter your
encoding, but that outputs utf-8 providing you dont specify utf-8 in
xsl:output (?)  Im using saxon anyway.

...I just dont get it.  The xml specifies utf-8, the xsl specifies utf-8
and has xml output type, the output has an xml declaration specifying
utf-8, and its all run through saxon which defaults to utf-8!  So why
does IE 'autodetect' Western European and not recognise   ??



Am I missing something simple here?

cheers

First off try UTF-8 instead of utf-8
No encoding guru but I wouldn't assume it defaults to iso-8859-1,
microsoft's default encoding for Western European in the rest of windows
should be Windows-1252.
But I would assume that what it would default to would be to ANSI

I think there was something about the Unicode defaulting some time back,
I've noted it as well in the msxsl.exe for the command line.
