Any replies to this?

One thing that comes to mind is using xslt to change the character set.
The <output> element has attribute "encoding" :

http://www.w3schools.com/xsl/el_output.asp

which can be set to an IANA recognized character set:

in your case I suppose "windows-1252"

Another step each time you want to push some data.

Caveat: I have not tried this yet.

Hank
