[MAPSERVER-USERS] SUMMARY: SLD not working

While they did not provide the solution, they got me to thinking
differently.

The problem was that the SLD that works fine in geoserver does not work fine
in mapserver.  
In MapServer, one must use sld:NamedLayer rather than sld:UserLayer.
Further, the NamedLayer name must match the map file layer name.

Jeff McKenna says it all in the docs:
When MapServer gets a valid SLD through a request, it parses this SLD to
extract 
all the styles attached to the NamedLayers, and then it applies these styles
to 
the map before it is returned to the client. When applying the SLD,
MapServer 
compares the names used in the map files with the names of the NamedLayers
in 
the SLD document.

For clarity, I never stated what I meant exactly by "not working."
"Not working" in this case meant that the polygon was not being rendered.
