more or less, it seems that there are some serious issues with the XML
parser:

The following doesn't work:
<se:Label><ogc:PropertyName />foo</se:Label>

The following returns a strange "msFontsetLookupFonts(): TrueType Font error. Requested font (^A) not found.":
<se:Label>
    <ogc:PropertyName />foo
</se:Label>

With:
<se:Label>
    <ogc:PropertyName /> foo
</se:Label>

it works more or less, it display (foo                     )

etc

But many elements of symbology encoding map to se:ParameterValueType which is a mixture of text nodes and ogc:expressions and this is generally not very well supported. I'd guess this needs huge reworking on both parser and engine...

I'll do that ..!
