The fact that xsltproc does not recognize the iso-8859-8-i means that 
iconv is probably unable to work with them.

You said: "iconv (the unix utility) supports hebrew only by the non 
standard representation of it (?) which is windows-1255"

I have tried to find any text you typed which said that windows-1255 and 
iso-8859-8-i are the same... But I was unable to... This is new 
information you provided above. Our conversation would not be needed if 
I would know that before.

But we don't need to convert it to UTF8, who said that? ;) We ned to 
have some encoding which is recognized by xsltproc first. If 
windows-1255 is the same as iso-8859-8-i, then this is simply a matter 
of find/replace in the XML files to replace the encoding names, and then 
xsltproc will hopefully work.
