Ah!

Thank you very much!

That presentation was indeed helpful, contains many SLD-tricks I could 
use. And the road plate solution seems to be exactly what I want. 
However, I do not feel like using a non-stable release in our production 
environment.

However, I guess that the stable 2.10 release is just around the corner? 
Any ETA?
