SLD : using other symbol names than the wellknown symbol

[Yewondwossen Assefa]

Hi There,

We were thinking about supporting other symbol names inside the 
WellKnownName tag ? It is not in the SLD spec but addresses a 
limitation we often get when applying an SLD.
  The idea is that a symbol name that is not a well know could be mapped 
to an existing symbol if that symbol exists in the map. If the symbol is 
not found, the default symbol (square) would be used.
I have entered a bug on it with the initial discussions. 
(http://mapserver.gis.umn.edu/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=1789).

Thanks.
