UTF Encoding is not preserved

I believe this must be classified as a bug (and not an implementation 
decisions)--and a serious one at that--because it can produce invalid XML 
results.  For example, I have an XML document that uses UTF-8 encoding and 
contains a copyright character (0xA9, which UTF-8 encodes as 0xC2 0xA9).  When 
transformating this into another XML document that also uses UTF-encoding, the 
resulting document contains only a single 0xA9 character which is illegal in a 
UTF-8 encoded document.

Note: When transforming this same source XML document into an HTML document 
(also using UTF-8), the UTF-8 sequence (0xC2 0xA9) is correctly recognized and 
transformed.
