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/"/>
