[Qgis-developer] A trip down memory lane - .avl style support in QGIS

Hi Tim,

Nice to see there is good work underway for symbology support!

I plan to also bring sld support into qgis core. Then the user may load/save 
symbology as qml or sld, possibly with a format combo in the file dialog.

Regards,
Marco
