Switch IE5.5 to Unicode and it'll look okay. To elaborate on Mike's
explanation, your output doesn't contain the string "Â ", it contains the
correct character -- only since the tools you're using aren't recognizing
the character set, they're botching the display. (Hence we see this "Â "
thing alot, which makes it a FAQ. You'd be seeing it even more if you had
any other characters in "upper ASCII".)
You can select the character set for IE manually under the View/Encoding
menu....
Many XSLT processors can also output other character encodings besides
Unicode (UTF-8/UTF-16), if you need to do that.
Cheers,
Wendell
