Mark's point is a good one - a blob in the middle of a PointSymbolizer
mark (aka icon) does not do anyone any good.
So I am going to propose something different, not using SLD.
Hear me out, we should draw the image using the existing SLD style as
defined for that layer. And then take the entire resulting image and
"jitter" it.
Jitter = draw the image 4 times in a at 1 pixel offsets, and as part of
this we can use draw image with an entire solid color. The color can be
set on preferences on a map by map basis.
Selection color, Map background, and Map palette kind of go together.
What do you think,

There is a difference between style and selection style though. Are
you sure you want be able to have a different selection style for each
layer? You haven't convinced me yet but I'm not completely adverse to
the idea... I'll think about it a bit for now.
The hardcoded style can be found in
SelectionStyleContent.createDefaultStyle(layer);

I think that each layer should probably have it's own selection style
so that you can highlight different feature types in different ways
depending on the type and the way they are rendered.
For example, on my layer I am using external graphics for each point
feature. Putting a blob on top of the icon isn't really what I
need... I'd like to be able to highlight the edge of the icon in some
way (which I still have to play with). Whereas another layer might
have a circle for points, or another a square which you could simply
render another circle/square of a different color over top of the
original.
In the meantime, where can I find that hardcoded style that you are
referring to so that I can attack it and modify it for my needs in
the meantime?
