For the sake of clarity, I have renamed this thread.

A) WHERE TO PUT METEO SHAPES
My first idea was to put, as you suggest, these extra shapes in the core shape 
library itself, but that would have put the burden of maintenance on you. 
Moreover, I expect this lib to grow to include all weather symbols, hence it 
will 
sit awkwardly in the core shape lib.

For the time being I would like to leave it as it is: just a way to extend the 
shape library without changing the core GeoTools code (hence the prefix 
"extshape://").
But, if everything goes according to plan, I expect to add a new module named 
"meteo-symbols" that will include everything weather-related... and yes, then 
there will be a "meteo://" prefix ;)


B) ALTERNATE_COLOURS IN A LINE SYMBOL
Thanks for the suggestion :)
I presume the trick lies in having the correct spacing between the alternate 
symbols (stroke-dasharray and stroke-dashoffset attributes).
