I personally like TextPad, and sometimes I do typing
in XMLSpy and Stylus Studio (they provide good
intellisense support and a good debugger).

I feel, changing ecoding attribute of xsl:output
element may not solve the problem in this case (making
a wild guess). Specifying encoding is just an hint to
the XML parser to assume a particular encoding for XML
document. Using a good text editor which supports
native encoding of OS could be the possible solution.
