The latter, I'm afraid. The output format is only available to FOP itself, and not passed to the XSLT (pre-)processor.

That said, I don't think it would be too hard to build that into FOP as it uses JAXP, but given that our current PMC chair seems to be of the opinion that it was a mistake to add support for XML+XSLT input as a convenience for the users in the first place, it could turn out to be a tough sell...
