Goo,

Using -co PROFILE=BASELINE will produce a TIFF file with no internal
georeferencing tags of any kind.  There might still be a .aux.xml you
could remove.

Unfortunately I don't think the -a_srs (and the SetFromUserInput() method
that underlies it) has a way of setting an empty coordinate system.  Perhaps
that should be enabled.

Best regards,
