Hi Jody, about sidecar SLD: if I'm correct esri products used a lyr file next to a shapefile automatically if it had the exact same name. QGIS is doing the same when you have a .qml (QGIS stylefile) with the same name. Unfortunatly that does not work (yet) with sld files (in QGIS), but it could be a usable model... if you want to keep working with shapefiles ;-) In case of Geopackage/Spatialite I would think a 'packaged' style could be favoured over sld styles in Geoserver? Indeed it would be best if GeoTools could serve this information.
