You've linked to a bug on SLD rendering. Client side SLD rendering is
vaguely planned for 2.6. 

However, it is possible to style your features when loading GML: you
simply set up the default styles for your layer to have things like
strokeColor/fillColor or graphicHeight/Width/externalGraphic. 

If you need to do per-feature rendering decisions, you can also do them
in the preFeatureInsert hook, by looking at the passed in feature and
changing its style properties.

See http://openlayers.org/dev/examples/vector-features.html for more
examples.
