I will also point out that SLD 1.0 has been split into two in order to make this more clear .. SLD 1.1 really focuses on the WMS intergration SE 1.1 isolates the information you need about styling and is much more clearly applicable to defining *just* styles The link for Symbology Encoding

Register your SymbologyEncoding documents in an OGC catalog and search for them by FeatureType name (make sure to use the FeatureType hierarchy so your styles can be arranged from general to specific). Or go low tech and set up an ftp site with a directory of styles for each featuretype...

Thanks again for providing more details. SLD is a language; at least some non-WMS tools can read SLD, and style WFS vectors according to it. (OpenLayers can do this; I'm sure that Excellent. In that case, SLD will do it for us (the web map is MapFish/OpenLayers). :-) Hm, I guess my que

SLD is usually thought of in conjunction with WMS because you don't see the effect of the styling until you make a map. But it certainly applies to WFS just as well in a situation like Chris mentions with Openlayers, where the client software is doing the portrayal. In addition to this: Sty
