They are correct, but encoded in by UTF-8 encoding. It is strange,
because HTML stylesheet by default uses iso-8859-1 (ISO Latin 1)
encoding. Aren't you using XHTML version of stylesheet (stored in file
xhtml/docbook.xsl). When generating XHTML, XSLT processor emits XML and
XT in that case always uses UTF-8. This can be overcomed by using
html/docbook.xsl stylesheet.

XT does not support AVT in encoding specification. You should switch to
some better XSLT processor - e.g. Saxon.
