No it is _mandated_ to add a meta element  by the XSLT spec.
It has to place a meta element reflecting the encoding it actually used
rather than the encoding you request in xsl:output.

If you call msxml so that it produces a dom or similar in memory
representation then it always uses utf16 and ignores the requested output
encoding. If you ask it to output to a file or string then it will use
the encoding you request if it is supported on your platform.
