It should be possible; indeed that is my reading of how it should work. The

which would control if it is dispatched

You will find a good graph module in geotools with route finding etc.

The quick answer is they are all related by being open source and by

In general we try and encourage the use of standards (to share data

Actually the origional point was valid; SLD is pretty darn WMS specific.
That is why we got them to split it into two; SLD for the WMS concepts
