The XSLT engine doesn't see your entities. They are expanded by the XML parser before XSLT does his thing. Then when the XSLT engine outputs the document it uses the encoding you specified, it can use characters encoded directly or numerical reference or in the case of HTML output method, named entities. But you can't tell XSLT what option to output.
