Problem with namespaces when generating kml dynamically - xslt

Question

I am using a test-driven-development process to create some xslt to create kml data dynamically.
With xslt I use xspec to manage the tests.
And I am experiencing a default namespace problem.
The xsl stylesheet has a large number of namespace declarations
<xsl:stylesheet
xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform"
xmlns:xs="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema"
xmlns:xd="http://www.oxygenxml.com/ns/doc/xsl"
xmlns:gx="http://www.google.com/kml/ext/2.2"
xmlns:kml="http://www.opengis.net/kml/2.2"
xmlns:atom="http://www.w3.org/2005/Atom"
exclude-result-prefixes="xs xd kml gx atom"
version="1.0">
The xpec test file has a simpler declaration
<x:description xmlns:x="http://www.jenitennison.com/xslt/xspec"
Part of the xslt code copies swathes of kml style elements into the output stream, e.g.
<StyleMap id="msn_ylw-pushpin">
<Pair>
<key>normal</key>
<styleUrl>#sn_ylw-pushpin</styleUrl>
</Pair>
<Pair>
<key>highlight</key>
<styleUrl>#sh_ylw-pushpin</styleUrl>
</Pair>
</StyleMap>
This is defined in an element.
In the xspec test file I am specifying what kml to expect and I just copy and paste this code into the appropriate element.
But the test fails as what is generated contains an empty xmlns="" namespace declaration, e.g.
XSPEC file
<x:description xmlns:x="http://www.jenitennison.com/xslt/xspec" stylesheet="KMLLibraryTest.xsl">

XSL file
<xsl:stylesheet

The single test fails as the actual output is
<kml xmlns="http://www.opengis.net/kml/2.2">
<Document>
<name>Las Salinetas Port Limits</name>
<StyleMap xmlns="" id="msn_ylw-pushpin">
<Pair>
<key>normal</key>
<styleUrl>#sn_ylw-pushpin</styleUrl>
</Pair>
<Pair>
<key>highlight</key>
<styleUrl>#sh_ylw-pushpin</styleUrl>
</Pair>
</StyleMap>
<Placemark id="d5">
<Snippet> </Snippet>
<name>Test</name>
<styleUrl>#msn_ylw-pushpin</styleUrl>
<LineString>
<tessellate>1</tessellate>
<coordinates>-25.3633333,46.9916667,0 -25.3566667,46.9383333,0 </coordinates>
</LineString>
</Placemark>
</Document>
</kml>
So what do I need to do in order avoid those default namespaces being created during testing?
EXPANSION:
So the first answer does work, but if I add another template to the sylesheet
<xsl:template name="make-network-link">
<xsl:param name="name"/>
<xsl:param name="uri"/>
<xsl:param name="vis" select="0"/>
<xsl:param name="open" select="0"/>
<xsl:param name="refresh"/>
<NetworkLink>
<name><xsl:value-of select="$name"/></name>
<visibility><xsl:value-of select="$vis"/></visibility>
<open><xsl:value-of select="$open"/></open>
<xsl:if test="$refresh">
<refreshVisibility><xsl:value-of select="$refresh"/></refreshVisibility>
</xsl:if>
<Link>
<href><xsl:value-of select="$uri"/></href>
</Link>
</NetworkLink>
</xsl:template>
and change the declaration to include the default namespace as well as suppress #default as follows
<xsl:stylesheet xmlns="http://www.opengis.net/kml/2.2"
xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform"
xmlns:xs="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema"
xmlns:xd="http://www.oxygenxml.com/ns/doc/xsl"
xmlns:gx="http://www.google.com/kml/ext/2.2"
xmlns:kml="http://www.opengis.net/kml/2.2"
xmlns:atom="http://www.w3.org/2005/Atom"
exclude-result-prefixes="#default xs xd kml gx atom"
version="1.0">
and add another test to the xspec file
<x:scenario label="Create test Network link">
<x:call template="make-network-link">
<x:param name="name" select="'Test network link etc'"/>
<x:param name="uri" select="'http://kmlbalahblah.com/GE/TZFolder.kml'"/>
<x:param name="vis" select="'1'"/>
</x:call>
<x:expect label="Default Hardcoded links">
<NetworkLink>
<name>Test network link etc</name>
<visibility>1</visibility>
<open>0</open>
<Link>
<href>http://kmlbalahblah.com/GE/TZFolder.kml</href>
</Link>
</NetworkLink>
</x:expect>
</x:scenario>
The output produced still comes through with the default namespace, i.e.
<NetworkLink xmlns="http://www.opengis.net/kml/2.2">
<name>Test network link etc</name>
<visibility>1</visibility>
<open>0</open>
<Link>
<href>http://kmlbalahblah.com/GE/TZFolder.kml</href>
</Link>
</NetworkLink>
How do I suppress THAT namespace now?
