Ah, I see what you mean. Yes, it is consistent with what we already did for
"dynamic symbolizers", where
portions of CQL expressions can be included in the external graphic
location attribute:
http://blog.geoserver.org/2008/12/08/dynamic-symbolizers-part-1/

For the raster symbolizer it could be something like:

<ColorMapEntry color="${cql expression for color}" quantity="${cql
expression for quantity}" label="label1" opacity="1"/>

and the parser could recognize that the value is starting from ${ and parse
it as a cql expression.
Or maybe not even use it ${, check if the value is the expected literal
type, if not, parse it as a CQL
expression.

That said... someone needs to write the code for this :-)

Cheers
Andrea
