sounds more like what is needed is 'enable-output-escaping'. which of
course does not exist.

the XSLT engine is mostly oblivious to how characters are represented in
the source document, because it operates on what is known as the infoset.

you can to some degree control the output by setting a suitable output
encoding, for example:
<xsl:output method="xml" encoding="iso-8859-1"/>
will make sure that all non-latin-1 chars are escaped.
default is either UTF-8 or UTF-16.
