Is there any chance of the SLD spec moving in this direction? I always
thought someone would set him up with a series symbolizers...
I really don't think we should move in the direction of mapserver where
everyone ducks the standard. We have a strong enough implementation to
use the standard in anger - is this challenge really beyond what it can do.
I expected:
- point symbolizer rendering an icon (for say a hwy shield symbol)
- text positioned to fit over top
If there was need to hook into the label positioning system I assumed
that this was the kind of thing SLD 1.1 environment variables may help with?
I will note a converse implementation idea, the MIL 2525B symbology is
defined using a magic 16 character code that is considered to be well
known. We could make a plugin system allowing end users to define
additional well known symbology definitions, and get perfect shields
while not break compatibility with the specification.

I want to apply it, but I wanted to give folks a chance to say yes or
no. It shouldnt affect anyone who isnt using the new functionality.
The only downside is that it makes the labeling stuff more complex and
is functionality outside the SLD spec.
