In Czech we have much more problems with encoding than you, believe me.

If your documents will contain a lot of character outside of ISO Latin 1
or ASCII using UTF-8 is best choice, assuming that all editors used can
deal with UTF-8.
If your documents contain only ISO Latin 1 characters, you can encode
your documents in iso-8859-1 and add following line as a first line of
your XML document:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="iso-8859-1"?>
After that change all common processing tools (including Saxon) will be
able to cope with your documents. Support for ISO Latin 1 is still
better than support for UTF-8 in many editors.
