It hasn't lost anything. The output file is encoded using the default output
encoding, UTF-8, and because this is the default, it doesn't need to specify
the encoding in the XML declaration. Any program that reads this XML is
guaranteed to be able to understand UTF-8, which isn't the case for your
original gb2312 encoding.

If you want the output to be in gb2312 (whatever that is), then you can
specify <xsl:output encoding="gb2312"/>, though the XSLT processor is not
guaranteed to support it.

If you want the output to be in the same encoding as the input, there's no
way of specifying this, because the XSLT processor doesn't know what the
input encoding was - only the XML parser knows that.
