I am not sure if it is Kobo who is adding their custom CSS and Javascript to the book after they receive it from the publisher or if it is something in the software that the publishers might use to prepare books for Kobo's store. Maybe it is just a mistake somehow, but Kobo has not acknowledged it as a problem presently. Until they fix this issue, then I think that I will not use them as a source for ebooks. Very disappointing!

I've solved the problem. It was actually quite easy.
1. Stripped the DRM
2. Delete the page template file
3. Using notepad++ I loaded in all the XML files
4. Searched/replaced out all of the references to the javascript and the page template
5. In the OPF remove the reference to the page template
6. Fix the CSS references to reference the original CSS instead of the Kobo CSS and do this via search/replace
7. Delete the directories that contain the Javascript and the Kobo CSS
Done and fixed.
