Hi,
I've encountered the same problem when I initially started to use Sablotron.
The work-around I used was a bit different. Instead of using the
charset=UTF-8, I put into my XSLT stylesheet the following line:
<xsl:output media-type="text/html" encoding="iso-8859-1"/>
This corrects the issue with '�' characters appearing in place of the
none-breaking space.
FYI: using Perl version 5.005_03, and Sablotron 0.42 with XML-Sablotron Perl
module.

Hi,
thanks a lot for this hint! I would like to add, that I use Sablotron
in Perl 5.005 CGI and changing the following has done the trick for me:
Old:
print <<"EOF";
Content-type: text/html
New:
print <<"EOF";
Content-type: text/html; charset=UTF-8

Mat,
If you try to display a utf-8 file using iso-8859-1 or win-1252 code page, �
is displayed instead of space. I guess this is the reason of your problem.
To be sure, include
<META http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=UTF-8"> to your
HTML. You can either be happy with utf-8 (and include META to all your
file), or to try recode the output.
Sablot manual says the following on output encoding:
The output is in UTF-8 by default. If the iconv library is present on the
system (it seems to be a standard part of glibc2, and a Win32 implementation
is available), then any of the above encoding can be specified for output,
using the 'encoding' attribute of xsl:output. Note that this new feature [by
Sven Neumann] still needs testing.
