Howard A text editor I use to edit XML and XSLT is Komodo from ActiveState. It is aware of XSLT syntax and flags errors, including unrecognised characters. A commercial copy is quite expensive. I bought my own private licence. Personal, academic and presumably .org licences are inexpensive and may be worth it to trace your error. They are at http://www.ActiveState.com

I assume that this is what has broken the xsl file but I cannot prove it (or at least I do not now *how* to prove it). Nothing I do (cutting and pasting between editors, using recode etc), seems to make any difference at all, so I wonder if this is really the problem. Not sure what to do next!
