   Bzzzz wrong approach. You need an XSLt specific serialization funtion
 like indicated in the tutorial, plus define in your stylesheet 
    http://www.w3.org/TR/xslt#output
    encoding = string 

 If you had just looked at the doc for the functions you used
   http://xmlsoft.org/html/libxml-tree.html#xmlDocDumpFormatMemory
you would have seen just below 
   http://xmlsoft.org/html/libxml-tree.html#xmlDocDumpFormatMemoryEnc

basically Read the Docs !

  You need to read more about the subject
    http://www.w3.org/TR/REC-xml/#sec-guessing
if you use XML, you'd better read the associated spec. It does *not* have to
show up at the API level. There is also specific doc about encoding in
libxml2
    http://xmlsoft.org/xmlmem.html
  it' 2 clicks away from the main page http://xmlsoft.org/

  Maybe you "certainly" could not find informations, but the informations
are "certainly" available and indexed by both google and xmlmsoft own
search engines.
