That's a nasty one to track down. Apart from encoding specs in
the style sheet, there's also the encoding in the <?xml?> line
of the source file to consider. The source file specifies
ISO-8859-1. I wonder whether svn might screw up the charset
on co/ci. Isn't there also a tool that does some postprocessing
in order to normalize the XML? If an XML processor generates
UTF instead of the specified ISO-8859-1, and the next processor
expects ISO-* as input, the data could get screwed up. You'd
have to chase all the chain from input to final output.

That's probably the best approach.
