In the current draft of XSLT 1.1, the attributes of xsl:output can be
attribute value templates, allowing you to write encoding="{$enc}".

Also, note that the TrAX API (implemented in Xalan and Saxon) allows you set
the output properties from the calling application, overriding those in the
stylesheet.
