The xmlns="" undeclaration is being output because you have generated the
<html> element in the XHTML namespace and the <meta> element in no
namespace. Change your stylesheet code so that all elements are generated in
the XHTML namespace. If you use literal result elements to produce them, the
easiest way to achieve this is to declare the XHTML namespace at the top
level of your stylesheet.
