Just had Dave talk me through the idea:
It involves adding a "graphic" to the TextSymbolizer element, the
resulting document would not be valid but it is a cool hack.
+0 Not especially comfortable, but no time to set up something better.

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.
