newbie transform question

[Nathan Coast]

Hi,
I'm trying to do some basic transforms using xerces / xalan using code like 
below.  The problem is that whatever transform I do, I always get:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
at the start of the output.  The output isn't xml so I don't want this produced. 
Any ideas how to prevent the <?xml.... from being generated?

Thanks
Nathan
code:
Document doc= new DocumentImpl();
Element root = doc.createElement("myDocument");     // Create Root Element
root.setAttribute(.....
root.setAttribute(.....
TransformerFactory tFactory = TransformerFactory.newInstance();
Transformer transformer = tFactory.newTransformer(new StreamSource(myXSLFile));
transformer.transform(new DOMSource(root), StreamResult(System.out));
