You can try using the getOutputProperties() method on the Templates object
to read the media-type property set in xsl:output. It's not very
satisfactory (for example it doesn't handle XSLT 2.0 things like named
output declarations) and my own instinct would be to maintain this
information somewhere else - it doesn't really belong in the stylesheet, in
my view, because it doesn't affect the result tree or even the serialized
output. But it might work for you.
