When you say `garbage', do you in fact mean that they result in UTF-8
sequences corresponding to the Unicode values for those characters?

If so, nothing is broken.  If you want entities instead I think you will
need to postprocess the output either using a subsequent program or by
hacking the output routine.  Note that this latter is particularly easy
in Saxon, where you can simply write your own Java class to handle the
output and request its use in the output method attribute.

I'm not sure why you would care about this, though.  A conformant XML
processor is required to understand UTF-8.
