If you are validating your page from the filesystem (by uploading into w3c validator) the only 2 way validator can get info about document encoding is xml declaration for xml documents (which you supressed by omit-xml-declaration="no") and special meta tag for html (which you supressed by method="xml"). That could be not a problem in real life when you load a document from web server by http protocol, which has its own facility for document encoding declaration - Content-Type http header.

btw, actually you are outputting not html but xml without xml declaration:

<xsl:output method="xml" indent="yes" encoding="utf-8"
  doctype-public="-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.01//EN"
  doctype-system="http://www.w3.org/TR/html4/strict.dtd"
  omit-xml-declaration="no" />

And why you don't get doctype declaration in the output I don't understand, probably it's a kind of bug.
