I had the same problem but the xsl:output did not work for me because I
did not have the iconv library. I did a quick and dirty hack that
postprocesses the output of sabcmd with a Python script using recode
(see below).
BTW: I read something about a Python integration of Sablotron but could
not find anything on the server (yet?). Where is it and what exactly is
planned here?
