I have received XML documents in German.
Letters with Umlauts are represented by 
control characters at the
ASCII level, for example, ä for the
small letter a with Umlaut. So far so good.

However, if I transform these documents to
another XML dialect (output method is xml),
the ä is changed to ä, which my editor
changes to ä, making the German
text difficult to read.

A conversion to HTML from the transformed XML 
outputs ä correctly.
I am using XSLT with XT on NT, with encoding set to utf-8 
all the way.

Though this may be a bug/feature in the editor I am using,
is there any way of preserving the original
representation (the ä notation) from input
to output XML?
