That's not entirely true. <meta> tag is generated when output method is
html or xhtml (<xsl:output method="html|xhtml"/>). XSLT 1.0 doesn't
support xhtml output method so xml method is used instead which doesn't
generate <meta> tag.

If original poster is using Saxon, then best solution is to use
saxon:xhtml as an output method -- this makes xhtml output method
available in XSLT 1.0 as well.
