Not necessary if you are generating html.

oops, I didn't see the subject, you probably use jaxp and somehow 
override <xsl:output> instruction, which is only hint, as David pointed out.

It should. See http://www.w3.org/TR/xslt.html#section-HTML-Output-Method:
"If there is a HEAD element, then the html output method should add a 
META element immediately after the start-tag of the HEAD element 
specifying the character encoding actually used."

Well, the same problem as with xml declaration - something overrides 
your  <xsl:output> instruction.

All these 3 problems are steming from a source you have to figure out. 
Can you show us your java code and environment?
