  yes but xmlSaveFile... is not used directly, you need to use the
XSLT related serialization routine since the encoding= and method=
information are stored in the stylesheet and not in the resulting tree.
  If the command line xsltproc shows the problem, then it sounds
like a bug, please report it http://xmlsoft.org/XSLT/bugs.html 
if the command line tool does it right then it sounds more like a 
problem about using libxml2 API.
