Hi, we have been developing a mapping platform for the greek census data and we 
need to create customizable choropleth and proportional symbol web maps.

In that context, I have given the (very useful indeed) SLD REST Service 
extension a try, and I would like to ask a few questions regarding some extra 
functionality we’d like to see:

a) can it support ColorBrewer 2.0 colour schemes? (other than sending the 
actual individual colours via the color parameter)

b) could there be an extra classification method with the standard deviation 
and mean value? That would require to define the middle of a (possibly 
diverging) custom colour ramp and assign it to the middle class. It would also 
require to define the fraction of the standard deviation to be used when 
creating classes (e.g. 1, 1/2, 1/3, 1/4 and possibly 1/5)

c) can it perform classification based on some arithmetic of two colums (such 
as division like "column a / column b" etc)? Are similar functions supported? 
(that would be usefull for computing e.g. percentages, density and various 
similar statistical indexes)

d) are geometry transformations supported? Could I use a polygon’s centroid to 
create a proportional point symbol map without creating point geometries?

Currently, I have started to develop part of the above functionality partly in 
JavaScript, on the client side and partly on the server, via some PHP scripts. 
It would be really nice and elegant, useful and time saving though if the SLD 
Service could support those.

Thanks very much in advance for any help.
