Hi, as you surely known playing with label options in GeoServer SLD editor is hard, especially because the SLD you end up creating often contains VendorOption tags that are not in the standard schema.
I was wondering if we could do the following to alleviate the issue: * create a StyledLayerDescriptorGS.xsd file that contains the extra definitions and ship it along with the other schemas in GeoServer * publish a copy of the relevant schemas at geoserver.org, much like in schemas.opengis.net, so that we have a stable place that the XML files can refer to (we could keep the schemas in svn and publish it directly, so that if we need to make any further customisation it's easy to do so). The nice thing about renaming the xsd is that we simply admin we tweaked it, it's not the standard, but gives you more opportunities than the standard itself, and avoids the validation issues. If we wanted to make this super clean, we could extend the TextSymbolizer element into a GTTextSymbolizer that allows the vendor option element. That would be cleaner from a schema p.o.v., but it would require some parser work in GT2 (not that much actually). Opinions?
