I can confirm this behaviour for characters beyond &#255; with ISO-8859-1. Tried
it with Łł and got &#321;&#322; (in the source they are escaped as &amp;#321;).

Switching to UTF-8 (form encoding + serializer) does not work, the page is still
recognized as ISO-8859-1. I guess this is related to bug #26997.

Is this a new problem of Xalan? If I see it correctly there will be no problem
getting &#321; back instead of Ł, but the escaping is wrong.
