Then you need to look at this page in the Saxon docs:

http://www.saxonica.com/documentation/extensions/output-extras/character-rep
resentation.html

Mike has added the ability to specify that you want hex values for numeric
character references.

You can't directly control how characters are serialized with XSLT since it
shouldn't matter how characters are represented (I assume you're trying to
satisfy either some tool that does care or implement some policy that
mandates the use of hex values for numeric character references).
