Hi Paul,
I think all the code functions are in place to do the bulk of this work, and
this would be a nice addition to MapServer. Sharing SLD between applications is
a huge benefit. If it is possible to apply SLD from a URL it should also be
possible to apply SLD from disk.
I wouldn't be a huge fan of embedding SLD directly in a Mapfile (although the
CONNECTION parameter can accept large chunks of OGRVRTDataSource XML as long as
quotes are escaped).
