Hi Anthony,
The special characters you are seeing are non-breaking spaces.
As you discovered changing the input encoding has no effect on the output
encoding, since they are independent of each other.
Are you chunking your HTML output? If so, then changing the output
encoding is easy. See this reference:
http://www.sagehill.net/docbookxsl/Chunking.html#ChunkEncoding
If you are using single-file HTML output, then you have to set the encoding
attribute in an xsl:output element in your stylesheet customization layer
to change the output encoding.

Subject: [docbook] invalid characters for ISO-8859-1 response
If I do the docbook -> xhtml transformation (v 4.4) I get invalid
characters for the chapter numbers in the output. If I change the
character encoding in the browser view from ISO-8859-1 to UTF-8 they
look ok.
I have to use ISO-8859-1 for now, because that's what the server sends
the response as...also, I'm unclear why there are special characters
at all in the output just to display chapter numbers:
output:
<h2 class="title"><a id="reports"></a>Chapter?| 3.?| Reports</h2>
Note the "Chapter?|3.?|Reports" (this is from vim when I view the
source directly, I get the "A-hat" character when viewing source in
the browser.
How should I fix this problem, all I really need is a space..no
special character to represent "Chapter 3. Reports" should be needed
here.
I tried changing the xml charset in the xml declaration, but that
didn't do anything.
