Sorry, I forgot to reply to this email. Here's the plan (stop me if I'm
going off the rails.)
The new name for this property will be @scale-denominator and @scale will
be ignored (just as if, right now, you made a style with @rutabaga).
However, due to the likelihood of changing style semantics, I'm also adding
support for generating warnings along with a style (as opposed to the
current model where either your style fails to parse or you get an SLD
document out. Notifying users of @scale that they need to switch to
@scale-denominator will be the first but not the only use of this
mechanism, which gives us a little more flexibility in changing the
language without leaving existing users stranded.
