Excluding namespaces from XML

My xsl file:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<xsl:stylesheet version="1.0" xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform" 
    xmlns:go="http://www.google.com"
    exclude-result-prefixes="go">
<xsl:include href="SomeLibrary.xsl"/>

    <xsl:template match="/">

        <xsl:call-template name="SomeTemplate">
            <xsl:with-param name="Element" select="'randomParam'"/>
        </xsl:call-template>

    </xsl:template>

</xsl:stylesheet>

The SomeLibrary.xsl file:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>

<xsl:stylesheet version="1.0" xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform" xmlns="http://www.google.com">
    <xsl:template name="SomeTemplate">
    <xsl:param name="Element"/>
        <Blabla>
            <xsl:value-of select="$Element" />    
        </Blabla>
    </xsl:template>
</xsl:stylesheet>

Input xml: just use an empty XML. The result is this: 

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>

<Blabla xmlns="http://www.google.com">
    randomParam
</Blabla>

What I want is to have the "Blabla" node without a namespace. How can I remove it or make sure it doesn't get there, without modifying my "SomeLibrary.xsl"?

In case you don't want to edit the imported stylesheet code, the way to remove the namespace is with a two-pass transformation (which in XSLT 1.0 requires using an xxx:node-set() extension function):

<xsl:stylesheet version="1.0" xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform"
 xmlns:ext="http://exslt.org/common" exclude-result-prefixes="ext" >
 <xsl:output omit-xml-declaration="yes" indent="yes"/>

 <xsl:template match="/">
   <xsl:variable name="vrtfPass1">
     <xsl:call-template name="SomeTemplate">
                <xsl:with-param name="Element" select="'randomParam'"/>
       </xsl:call-template>
     </xsl:variable>

     <xsl:variable name="vPass1" select="ext:node-set($vrtfPass1)"/>
     <xsl:apply-templates select="$vrtfPass1/node()" mode="pass2"/>
 </xsl:template>

 <xsl:template match="*" mode="pass2">
  <xsl:element name="{name()}">
   <xsl:copy-of select="@*"/>
   <xsl:apply-templates mode="pass2"/>
  </xsl:element>
 </xsl:template>

 <xsl:template name="SomeTemplate" xmlns="http://www.google.com">
   <xsl:param name="Element"/>
            <Blabla>
                <xsl:value-of select="$Element" />
            </Blabla>
 </xsl:template>
</xsl:stylesheet>

When this transformation is applied on any XML document (not used), the wanted result (the default namespace removed) is produced:

<Blabla>randomParam</Blabla>

Update:

The OP has indicated in a comment that he is using Xalan 2.07.

Below is almost the same solution, but with namespace and name for the xxx:node-set() function, as used in Xalan:

<xsl:stylesheet version="1.0" xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform"
 xmlns:x="xmlns:xalan="http://xml.apache.org/xalan" exclude-result-prefixes="x" >
 <xsl:output omit-xml-declaration="yes" indent="yes"/>

 <xsl:template match="/">
   <xsl:variable name="vrtfPass1">
     <xsl:call-template name="SomeTemplate">
                <xsl:with-param name="Element" select="'randomParam'"/>
       </xsl:call-template>
     </xsl:variable>

     <xsl:variable name="vPass1" select="x:nodeset($vrtfPass1)"/>
     <xsl:apply-templates select="$vrtfPass1/node()" mode="pass2"/>
 </xsl:template>

 <xsl:template match="*" mode="pass2">
  <xsl:element name="{name()}">
   <xsl:copy-of select="@*"/>
   <xsl:apply-templates mode="pass2"/>
  </xsl:element>
 </xsl:template>

 <xsl:template name="SomeTemplate" xmlns="http://www.google.com">
   <xsl:param name="Element"/>
            <Blabla>
                <xsl:value-of select="$Element" />
            </Blabla>
 </xsl:template>
</xsl:stylesheet>

add exclude-result-prefixes="go" to the stylesheet element.
and, of course, update the namespace declaration from the default one to xmlns:go="http://www.google.com"

Explicitly create them with:

<xsl:element name="Blabla" namespace="">...</xsl:element>

but this means fiddling with the SomeLibrary.xsl file.
