XSLT default output encoding when method==html?

I'm writing some code which needs to read the result of an XSLT
transformation into a string.  The XSLT specification clearly states
what a processor is supposed to do if the output method is xml, xhtml,
or text, but no output encoding is specified, which is great.

I'm unable to figure out if it says somewhere what occurs if html is
the output method and no encoding is specified.  Anyone able to point
me at the right information?  Or does this end up being 'processor
specific' ?
