It comes to my mind that if xsltproc doesn't change the hebrew, there's 
nothing wrong with treating the whole file as plain english... and it will 
work. That's unless xsltproc tries to *understand* every character and 
character. 

At any case, if you want to stick with real encoding names (although 
plain english might work just as well) - you can definately use 
windows-1255. it's just an alias for the real encoding name, that's all. 

good luck :)
