It was perhaps a bit odd to call them "parameter entities" without providing declarations, but the concept and the reference syntax is familiar to many users of XML. Also, there is no official schema or DTD for XSL 1.1, so I'd say there wasn't much reason to put in the declarations when there was no schema. FWIW, RenderX has three goes at a XSL FO schema or validators at http://www.renderx.com/tools/validators.html. Their XML Europe 2004 paper [1] referred to from that page has a good summary of the issues you face in making a schema for XSL FO (and of the trade-offs they had to make). Like Dave, they favour having multiple, looser and stricter schema for XSL FO.
