Thomas, yes agree but this is what you should aim for. What is the sense in using a standard like SLD and then shooting holes in it by writing the styles in a fashion that depends on execution? They should work in Geoserver, deegree, mapserver etc. A lot of my styles are not self-written, but swapped with other open-source users. That is the advantage and productivity of standards. Relying on conventions is always dangerous. It is the same with our roads, which are in 12 different classes. That applied to 6 scale-dependent rules would give 72 rules. As the layers are drawn bottom up, I usually use layergroups to enforce that. Nobody prevents you from calling the same layer with a different style in a layer group or a generalized layer at higher and the real one at lower scales. At least that is what I think these groups are for: divide and conquer.
