This is a strange thing... when I apply an exslt transformation to an xml doc I get 3 leading HEX bits before the <?xml/> doc declaration.
this reads "EF BB BF" in hex editor... and only shows up in a hex editor text - as asii - i (with two dots), >> , and an (upside down question mark)

But appears fine in a text editor etc. ??

I am using <xml:eek:utput method:"xml" version:"1.0" encoding:"UTF-8" indent:"no"/>

How do I eliminate these Hex bits/chars from the xml output doc?
