Try fixing the encoding of the *output* to ISO-8859-1. The encoding
attribute on the XML declaration just talks about the XML file itself.
You want to tell MSXML to use the ISO-8859-1 encoding on the output it
generates:

<xsl:output method="html" version="4.0" indent="yes"
            encoding="ISO-8859-1" />

Also, make sure that you're not hand-generating a Content-Type meta
element in the head of your HTML document -- that will get generated
for you by the processor. And make sure that your source document is
actually in the encoding that it says it's in!

Cheers,

Jeni
