They are required to read, but what character encoding sets are they required to save to?

XML parsers don't save. They read.

As for XSLT engines, according to the XSLT Recommendation, §16.1:

   The encoding attribute specifies the preferred encoding to
   use for outputting the result tree.  XSLT processors are
   required to respect values of UTF-8 and UTF-16.

As Jörg noted, you really should upgrade Xalan anyway.
