Actually only vanilla XSLT is required.  Abstract patterns just require a preprocess to do
macro-expansion. (The guiding rule of symbolic/text processing is to things in a pipeline.)

I posted sample beta implementations on the schematron-love-in maillist a couple of weeks ago,
by way of a progress report.The abstract schema implementation is at  http://www.topologi.com/resources/tmp/ISOprepro.xsl
(bug reports & improvements welcome: e.g. probably this code has a problem when
one parameter name is an initial substring of another, later parameter name of the
same pattern). Barring unforeseens, 1.6 should be out this weekend.
