Re: 8bit ascii encoding

> as c only understands 8bit ascii 

there's a lot of programs written in C that can do more than ascii...

however I think you just want

<xsl:value-of select="translate(.,'&#8216;&#8217;',&quot;''&quot;)"/>

don't you?

If you don't want to translate the left and right quotes to straight
ascii quotes, then you should be able to do output &#8216; as &#8216;
rather than as utf-8 multi byte sequence by using
<xsl:output encoding ="...."/>
where .... is an encoding name that
a) your XSLT processor knows and
b) does not contain the character 8216.
ASCII or US-ASCII or iso-8859-1 all satisfy (b) at least.
