Indeed, especially since it left out all the people involved in
the rendering module (basically me and Jesse, nobody else committed
anything to that module in ages).

The thread is way too long now for me to chime in, especially since
quite some coding already went in.

The UOM functionality is interesting, thought the changes implemented
are specific for 2.5.x, the situation on trunk is different, the unit
of measure is already available at the symbolizer level, thought
nothing in the rendering chain actually uses it (the people that
worked on SE 1.1 started their own renderer, which they said is
going to be open source but so far haven't actually seen the sources
of it).

The GeoApi Symbolizer interface has this:

Unit<Length> getUnitOfMeasure();

that influences the interpretation of all the measures.

As for parsing, hacking on the current parser is definitely easier,
thought it's not going to address a SE document parsing, but the parsing
of an augmented SLD 1.0 one (augmented in the meaning of having more
attributes around).

If you look in modules\extension\xsd\xsd-sld you'll find an already
available set of bindings for SLD 1.0 using the new parser architecture.
As far as I know the module was made by Justin as a proof of concept,
but was never actually used in practice, so I don't know how much
of a SLD document it can parse. For sure it does not deal with the
TextSymbolizer extensions (Priority, VendorParameter) that we added
with time in the sax based parser.
