That what I tried doing, currently I have:

  exclude-result-prefixes="i18n ota dataList iItemList math"

which excludes non-anonymous namespaces, such as:

  xmlns:i18n=""
  xmlns:math=""

but how do you exclude an anonymous namespace:

  xmlns=""

Reading elsewhere I was given the suggestion of using:

  <!-- copies without the template -->
  <xsl:template match="*">
    <xsl:element name="{name()}" namespace="">
      <xsl:copy-of select="@*"/>
      <xsl:apply-templates/>
    </xsl:element>
  </xsl:template>

and changed the original block to:

     <xsl:for-each select="$pageMetaData/*">
        <xsl:choose>
          <xsl:when test="local-name() = 'meta'">
            <xsl:apply-templates select="."/>
          </xsl:when>
          <xsl:otherwise>
            <meta content="{.}" name="{local-name()}"/>
          </xsl:otherwise>
        </xsl:choose>
      </xsl:for-each>

but I am not sure this is the best approach.
