Thankyou, this solves half of my problem.
However the included file is also included from a second XSLT file with
contains no existing namespace references. If I add
xmlns="http://purl.org/rss/1.0/"; to <help> this renders as <help
xmlns="http://purl.org/rss/1.0/"/> - I do not want the attribute to appear
in the second file.

When you say you don't want the xmlns="" to appear on the <help/> element,
what you presumably mean is that you want the <help> element to be in the
namespace "http://purl.org/rss/1.0/";. The answer is to put it in that
namespace, for example by writing it in the stylesheet as
<help xmlns="http://purl.org/rss/1.0/"/>
