I have a question, again from the world of MapServer:

Can GeoServer adjust its SLD or filter features given arbitrary WMS 
parameters?

For example, in MapServer one could specify a filter corresponding to a 
WMS param. For example, my shapefile could contain all parcels but a WMS 
request could ask to show only IG parcels, RH parcels, etc.
   FILTER "zoning=%ZONECODE%"
   http://... &LAYERS=parcels,streets&FORMAT=image/png&ZONECODE=IG

Similarly, one could filter by date:
   FILTER ( [startdate] >= %DATE% )
   http://...&DATE=2010-05-04

I looked at the filter-related stuff in the Users Manual but those are 
related to I/O and not to fitlering features. Does GeoServer support 
such data-level filtering, and if so what should I be looking for in the 
docs?
