Not being standard was cited as one of the reasons against it. Read the
mail again.

But now it is a String, so there is nothing to roll back (unless
you want to turn that from String to PropertyName). Look in the
GeoApi Symbolizer interface:

String getGeometryPropertyName();

If we go on with the change that will need to be changed to Expression.
Another possible solution is to add a method:

Expression getGeometryExpression()

only in the GeoTools implementations. Code that is not ready to
deal with the new method will just get a null property name, which
is valid, and will lead the renderer to use the default geometry.

Cheers
