Hi Cameron, we can set a skype/irc appointment and whose interested can 
join.
I guess it's already late for you today... I'll be in FAO until 5 pm 
(GMT +2 in this season).

With Andrea we've decided to publish something quickly to show it to 
everybody and comment it all together.
It is a simple module using GeoTools to access data values.
Hopefully in one week we'll have something online.
Then he started planing the integration in GeoServer but he'll need more 
time.

right

I'm wondering it too but I need to dive in the spec much more.

I've been wandering about it too but I still have not enough know-how to 
suggest OCG enhancements.
I'm sure in the next few month we'll have more than enough about SLD
:-)
It will be my project priority

absolutely
