ISO ratification is happening, just with some unavoidable delays of a
personal nature by some involved. There aren't any questions about
the technology. Volunteer standards work relies on people and
sometimes unexpected personal issues just get in the way.

The status of the project is (somewhat cryptically) recorded here,
though the stage dates have not been updated since the summer:
http://www.jtc1sc34.org/document/secretariat_temp.html#is19757-3
You can see it in the status matrix at stage 40.99:

There was a single ballot comment:

of the balloted "Final Committee Draft":
http://www.jtc1sc34.org/repository/0600.htm#N0598
Now it is up to Working Group 1 to establish the new stage dates and
prepare the "Final Draft International Standard" document for
submission to the process.
As for reference implementations or sites/newsgroups/etc., that is
outside of my purview on the standardization side.
I'm successfully using Schematron commercially at customer sites, and
as part of my volunteer work for UBL (I'm running my modified 1.5
that supports attribute contexts). I believe Schematron to be the
only assertion constraint language there is, and even if there are
others, I don't believe they have ever gone towards any kind of
standardization ... I know they haven't through ISO as SC34 would
probably be the place for it to go.
I, too, am looking forward to seeing everything finalized.

I hope this helps.
