I'm not quite sure whether to say (draft A, as suggested):

  Validation Rule: pattern valid

  A ·literal· in a ·lexical space· is pattern-valid if and only if for
  each ·regular expression· in its {value}, the ·literal· is among the
  set of character sequences denoted by the ·regular expression·.

or (draft B):

  Validation Rule: pattern valid

  A ·literal· in a ·lexical space· is pattern-valid (or: facet-valid
  with respect to ·pattern·) if and only if for each ·regular
  expression· in its {value}, the ·literal· is among the set of
  character sequences denoted by the ·regular expression·.

I lean toward B, to ensure that we can refer to correctness vis-a-vis
any facet X as being 'facet-valid with respect to X'.  (Even if in
practice we don't refer to pattern that way right now.)
