(Alle XML parsers are required to understand UTF-8 and UTF-16 (though not
ISO-8859-1). Also, *all* XML and HTML 4.x documents use ISO 10646 (~Unicode 3.0)
as their character set.)

Did the old HTML files work with your browser? This is a bug in xsltproc. It
doesn't generate the correct 'meta http-equiv' element for specifying the
charset. According to the XSLT specification, it should.

Also you removed the 'encoding' attribute. This should have no effect, as the
default encoding *is* 'utf-8'. Anyway, if you want ISO-8859-1, you should add
the 'encoding' attribute to the 'output' element and set it to 'ISO-8859-1'. And
get the server to send the correct charset header:

Content-Type: text/html; charset=iso-8859-1
