title: Encoding Issues in XSL Transformation
body: <p>I have Encoding issues similar to those discussed here : <a href="https://stackoverflow.com/questions/6495875/cross-encoding-xsl-transformations">cross-encoding XSL transformations</a></p>
  
  <p>No clean answer was given to these questions; that's why I'm asking it again.</p>
  
  <p>I have an XML input file encoded in UTF8.
  I have a XSL Transformation to apply to these files which should generate an XML ouptput encoded in Windows-1252.</p>
  
  <p>I have the two declarations below in my XSLT file :</p>
  
  <pre><code>&lt;?xml version="1.0" encoding='Windows-1252'?&gt;
  
  &lt;xsl:output method="text" indent="yes" encoding="Windows-1252"/&gt;
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>I use Saxon as the XSL processor.
  Besides all of that, I still have fatal errors each time a UTF8 charac whith no Windows-1252 equivalent is encountered.
  Actually, I don't really care about these characters and my transformation could dropp all of them. I just want the transformation goes on and don't crash because of them.</p>
  
  <p>Where I miss something ? Why still have this fatal errors (Fatal Error! Output character not available in this encoding) ?</p>
  
  <p>Thanks in advance for your help.</p>
