Even when I remove the oracle and xml factors I get the same thing. I'll
try it against 3.3. It looks like JSPWriter is queering the char coding.

Hi Chris,
Can you reproduce this in normal JSP ( without oracle ) ? Can you send me
a small webapp where I can reproduce it ? Does it happens in 3.3 too ?
I am trying to solve (most) I18N bugs and problems for 3.3, it's very
tricky but can be done :-)
