The following pattern has several issues

& causes: expected entity name for refernce error

< causes:A '<' character can not be used in attibute value, except through &lt -- see above

<xsd:pattern value=".*[^!#$.*^&*.=|\`~}{:?/><].*"/>

This is according to the XML specification.

All & literals in XSLT must be escaped as &
And even in attributes, < must be escaped as <

See http://www.w3.org/TR/2004/REC-xml-20040204/#NT-AttValue
