Ari,
Traditionally, there has been no widely adopted
vendor/system-independent format for specifying style
information. Hopefully now that there is an organization

ESRI seems to have .mxd files, which is their map definition file. It's
a binary format and probably not documented. Then they have ArcXML (AXL)

Hey, that's pretty cool. Almost JSON or WKT-like.
MapGuide has a similar XML-based stylization schema:

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
of layers and so on; and SE for the really good part (FeatureTypeStyle
and friends).
