Indeed, if you take the land mass polygons as a starting point, you'd indeed 
want to use a positive value for the buffer to extend the vignette into the 
water.

@Gabriel: Thanks for the reference to Simon Mercier's blog! That's invaluable!

Subject: RE: [Geoserver-users] Polygons with outlines using gradients

Thank you, Edward. I wouldn’t want to end up with the polygon being smaller, so 
would that approach still work if a positive value was used? From: Edward Mac

My approach would be to use the geometric transformation "buffer" several times 
on the polygon. Using a negative value, you would get polygons smaller than the 
input area. with every transformation you set a different colour to achieve a 
fading line effect, though generated using polygons.

Kind regards,

Subject: [Geoserver-users] Polygons with outlines using gradientsHello all, Is 
it possible to style polygons so that their outline appears as a gradient? I’d 
like to define a coastline, for example, using a line that is, say 5 pixels 
wide, but whose colour fades to transparent. The gradient should be oriented 
with the solid colour closest to the inside of the polygon and the lighter 
colour furthest away from the polygon. Not the best explanation, but hopefully 
you will understand what I mean! Thanks Chris*** This communication has been
