  The other parts of your mail seems to indicate your xsltproc has access
to iconv, if it outputs in ISO-8859-1 it's probably because the stylesheets
ask for this output. That can be overriden by your own wrapper XSLT stylesheet
with an xsl:output carrying encoding = "UTF-8" (or another one). Depending
on the other elements on your processing chain  and the actual content of the
document being processed this can result in a serious size improvement
of the intermediate files compared to character references in an ISO-8859-1
encoding.
