 This is probably a bit of a stretch, but it would be awesome if there was
 some way to preview an XML symbol definition by creating a simple
 temporary feature source in the session repository and then stylizing it.

 I would see this either evaluating the symbol definition to see what
 Usages it supports (point, line, area), or prompting the user for this
 information.

 Ideally, the features generated for preview would include both overlapping
 and disjoint points, lines, and polygons.

 If this is feasible and there's anything I can do to support this
 (generate WKT for the features, create layer definition templates to
 reference temporary styles, etc) please let me know.
