Problem solved! Someone kick me...

the solution, for the benefit of anyone else wondering: you set a
property on the Transformer object before doing the transform, as
follows:

	 // set properties on the transformer so 
         // we don't get an xml declaration in output
         Properties props = new Properties();
         props.setProperty(OutputKeys.OMIT_XML_DECLARATION, "yes");
         transformer.setOutputProperties(props);

	 // do the transformation
         transformer.transform(transformSource, result);
