[mapserver-dev] SLD <Label> conformance in MapServer

[Jeff McKenna]

Hi Jérome,

Wow old tickets, enjoyable read ha.  Personally I feel that you should 
proceed as you were initially thinking (change so that we conform to OGC 
spec), and as long as we update the docs and include this in something 
like the 8.0 release with mention in Migration Guide, users will just be 
happy to have someone actively maintaining SLD support, as it has sat 
untouched for many years.  Thank you for this effort!
