The only way some processors might do that is with
   <xsl:output encoding="US-ASCII" />
that way for any character outside of ASCII you might get the numeric 
character reference. But that will happen for any character outside of 
ASCII, not only for these which were encoded as &#nnn; in the input XML.
So that is not an identity transformation then preservind numeric 
character references but rather a result serialization in an encoding 
that requires character references for anything outside of ASCII.
