Hi,
wanted to check if anyone has feedback on how to express
rendering transformations in CSS, as it's the one functionality
that's still missing from it, compared to SLD.

Say that we start from this SLD as an example:

<FeatureTypeStyle>
          <Transformation>
            <ogc:Function name="ras:Contour">
              <ogc:Function name="parameter">
                <ogc:Literal>data</ogc:Literal>
              </ogc:Function>
              <ogc:Function name="parameter">
                <ogc:Literal>levels</ogc:Literal>
                <ogc:Literal>1100</ogc:Literal>
                <ogc:Literal>1200</ogc:Literal>
                <ogc:Literal>1300</ogc:Literal>
                <ogc:Literal>1400</ogc:Literal>
                <ogc:Literal>1500</ogc:Literal>
                <ogc:Literal>1600</ogc:Literal>
                <ogc:Literal>1700</ogc:Literal>
                <ogc:Literal>1800</ogc:Literal>
              </ogc:Function>
            </ogc:Function>
          </Transformation>
          <Rule>
            <Name>rule1</Name>
            <Title>Contour Line</Title>
            <LineSymbolizer>
              <Stroke>
                <CssParameter name="stroke">#000000</CssParameter>
                <CssParameter name="stroke-width">1</CssParameter>
              </Stroke>
            </LineSymbolizer>
          </Rule>
</FeatureTypeStyle>

How to do something equivalent in CSS?

Here is some variants based on the idea that the rt is part of the selector
(the idea
is, that's where we would also specify the target type name, if we wanted
to).

a) 1-1 parallel to the SLD structure

ras:Contour(parameter("data"), parameter("levels", 1100, 1200, 1300, 1400))
{
  stroke: black;
}

b) Switch to function with named parameters:

ras:Contour(data, levels : list(1100, 1200, 1300, 1400))) {
  stroke: black;
}

c) Function of functions approach, where each param looks like a
sub-function with
its value as its arguments (my favorite due to its conciseness):

ras:Contour(data(), levels(1100, 1200, 1300, 1400))) {
  stroke: black;
}

And here is a variant based on the idea that instead the transform is a
parameter, after all, the z-index controlling the creation of new
FeatureTypeStyle
element is there:

* {
  -gt-trasform: ras:Contour(data(), levels(1100, 1200, 1300, 1400)));
  stroke: black;
}

Can someone think of a more compact or better readable syntax?

Cheers
Andrea
