Hi,

I'm a member of the Open Aviation Map project, http://openaviationmap.org/ , where we've been using SLDs with the GeoTools toolset to render our maps. But SLDs have a number of shortcomings for us, and I'd like to as here about MapCSS if these features are planned to be supported in the future, or if the MapCSS community would think any of these features 'interesting' for possible inclusion.

What we need and have not found in any of the rendering languages around, including MapCSS, are the following:

 * ability to specify rendering sizes in 'target device size'
     o for example, specify that a line would have 'a width of 5mm on
       the viewers device', instead of specifying a number of pixels
 * the ability to specify a 'buffer' on the edge lines of an area in
   target-device size
     o for example, specify that the area's edge should have an 'area
       5mm thick inside the area, filled with a slanted line fill, or
       with a semi-transparent color'


I wonder if any of the above makes sense to the MapCSS community.

best regards,


Akos
