If your documents will contain a lot of character outside of ISO Latin 1 or ASCII using UTF-8 is best choice, assuming that all editors used can deal with UTF-8. If your documents contain only ISO Latin 1 characters, you can encode your documents in iso-8859-1 and add following line as a first line of your XML document: <?xml version="1.0" encoding="iso-8859-1"?> After that change all common processing tools (including Saxon) will be able to cope with your documents. Support for ISO Latin 1 is still better than support for UTF-8 in many editors.
