I'm configuring my first 3560s, and am a little shocked to see that per-port output policing (via service-policy output <policyname>) as we've done for years on 3550s isn't permitted on the 3560.

Trying it results in
 police command is not supported for this interface
 Configuration failed!
 Warning: Assigning a policy map to the output side of an interface not
 supported

This is two completely separate errors...the first saying you can't police the output of a port, the second saying you can't even define an output service-policy for a port.

It appears the 3560-way to do this is to use srr-queue bandwidth shape on the interface, but the syntax for this command isn't nearly as flexible as being able to create a number of arbitrarily sized policing service policies, applying one to each policed port...and only allows shaping classified traffic by dscp marking it on input and then shaping it to port-rate/N where N is an integer from 0 to 65535. I suppose that's fine if I want to shape classified traffic to 1/2, 1/3, 1/4, etc. of the interface rate...but what if the interface rate is 100mbit/s and I want to shape a class of traffic on a particular port's egress to 60mbit/s?

Is this possible on the 3560?
