I would like the encoding of the output XML of my XSLT stylesheet to match
the encoding of the input XML. Is this possible

No, as there is no way to query the input encoding in XSLT 1.0.


or can I only set the
encoding to a specific value using <xsl:output encoding="utf-8"/>?

Yes, you can only set it arbitrarily in XSLT 1.0.


From what I see in XSLT 2, this information is not in the input data model either, so you won't be able to query for it.
