You could try
   <xsl:output encoding="US-ASCII"/>
or perhaps
   <xsl:output encoding="ISO-8859-1"/>
In the case of an XSLT 2.0 processor like Saxon the software is then 
required to output any characters outside of that encoding as character 
references (as long as that is allowed e.g. in element or attribute 
content).
