Hi,

1.
be sure that your umn can access the sld via http, how do you call it 
within the url?

2.
the problem is, that umn does not provide any error-message if a sld 
does not work, umn has no access to it or the sld has errors. In this 
cases the map is rendered with the style-parameters of the mapfile.

If I try to load
http://www.geonorge.no/styles/erm/erm_ms_22_ah.xml
in Opera I get one syntax-error in line 41, in <StyledLayerDescriptor> 
the '/' is missing. And having a dedicated look, I find a lot of tags 
which should be closing-tags but don't have a backslash...

no

yes
