When you provide a Writer as the output destination, Saxon simply writes
characters to the Writer. The Writer itself translates these into bytes,
using whatever encoding it decides is apppropriate. If you want to control
the encoding from the stylesheet, you must supply an OutputStream, not a
Writer - that way it's Saxon's job to convert characters to bytes, not
Java's.
