Re: XSLT error "Switch from current encoding to specified encoding no t supported"

[Joao Pedro Martins <jota at link dot pt>]

I have a similar problem, but outputing html (MSXML July Ed).

First, it seems that the fact that ASP strings are UTF-16 (?)
doesn't allow for the use of the iso-8859-1 encoding/version
xml line.

Second, even if xsl:output mentions output encoding = iso8859-1,
the xslt processor ignores this line and adds a META encoding
line of UTF-16.

The same XML/XSL-T worked fine in the may tech preview.
