   There is an ol one
http://trac.osgeo.org/mapserver/ticket/1471 that I
just updated. The errors are trapped but at this point we let the WMS
request succeed without the SLD. I believe the correct way
would be to
return an exception.
 


This needs some consideration.  Think about an end user who is using
somew ready made application which is set to get styles from an external
SLD.  Now if this SLD gets broken, which would you prefer as an user: a
correct exception without a map, or a map which may have wrong styling?
I would take the map.

I guess it is debatable. I have not seen something in the specs re. this 
issue. I will send a note to wms-dev list at OGC to see if there is 
something in the specs that deals with this issue.

if you enable debugging for the mapfile and layer that should use an
sld document/url, I think you will get errors in the debug log. At
least with recent versions of mapserver.
