If we're doing this with XSLT 2.0, we can just use the <xsl:result-document> element.

It would look something like this:

<xsl:template match="patent">
   <xsl:result-document href="output.xml" format="xml">
      <xsl:copy>
         <xsl:apply-templates/>
      </xsl:copy>
   </xsl:result-document>
</xsl:template>

<xsl:template match="world">
   <xsl:apply-templates/>
<xsl:template>

<!-- identity template here -->
