This is actually an exception from the Xerces parser, not from Xalan
itself.  It seems strange that Xerces would be complaining about that
encoding, as it has supported it for quite a while.

You should check your classpath to make sure you don't have an old version
of the Xerces parser lurking about.  I believe there is a utility packaged
with Xalan that checks your environment for such things.

Also, just for fun, try using upper-case letters in the encoding, i.e.:

   encoding ="ISO-8859-1"

You shouldn't have to do it, but it's worth a try.

Nope, this is totally unrelated -- it's a bug about writing numeric
character references in serialized output.

Lastly, this conversation is really more appropriate on one of the Xalan
lists hosted on Apache.  Please post your question there, and I'm sure
someone will be happy to help out.
