^^^^^
I assume that you mean UTF-8, not ASCII.
The use of an XSLT engine for this might be viewed as "overkill".
It is not unreasonable to expect that one's editing interface has
provision for keyboard entry of the user's local character set with
saving in UTF-8. Another approach would be using a parser that reads
the local character set and re-writes the document in XML form under
UTF-8. (SP can do this.)
