Thomas,
Thanks yet again. I tried your suggestion and it looks quite nice.
If I may, a related question: is there a change in behavior in use of symbols? I'm fairly certain that the MapServer tutorial example worked under 5.6.3, as did my use of the "tie" symbol. The motivation here is to tease out a potential bug in Mapserver 6.0.0-beta1.
- Phil

for a tie symbol you should specify a (negative) GAP.
something like:
http://www2.terriscope.fr/geocache/wms?LAYERS=osm&SERVICE=WMS&VERSION=1.1.1&REQUEST=GetMap&STYLES=&EXCEPTIONS=application%2Fvnd.ogc.se_inimage&FORMAT=image%2Fjpeg&SRS=epsg%3A4326&BBOX=1.34033203125,43.76953125,1.3623046875,43.79150390625&WIDTH=256&HEIGHT=256
is obtained with
SYMBOL
NAME "rail"
TYPE TRUETYPE
FONT sc
CHARACTER '|'
GAP -3
END
...
STYLE
WIDTH 2
OUTLINEWIDTH 1
OUTLINECOLOR "#555554"
COLOR "#ffffff"
END
STYLE
SYMBOL rail
SIZE 5
COLOR "#555554"
END

I tried several other symbols; I used the "circle" as an example because it also worked in the past and is used in the MapServer "Introduction to MapServer", section 2.4.3, "CLASS and STYLE objects".
