Xalan's serializer will normally not re-assert namespace declarations which
are already in scope -- so the simplest fix may be to manually generate
those declarations on your root element, which should then suppress the
lower-level ones.
Unfortunately XSLT 1.0 doesn't have anything like an <xsl:namespace>
directive. The standard workarounds are to generate unnecessary attributes
in the desired namespaces to force their declaration (not acceptable for
many users), or to build a node in a Result Tree Fragment which uses the
namespace, then xsl:copy the namespace node off that RTF to put it where
you want it (obscure and a bit ugly, but pretty much a standardized
solution). XSLT 2.0 has promised to make this easier.
