The output of an XSLT step in a pipeline is not a serialized sequence of
octets, it's an XML data model. The serialization options have no effect.

If you want the serialized output to be indented (or in a weird encoding
or anything else), you have to tell XProc or the XProc step that you want
it serialized that way.
