[Chameleon] Dynamic SLD and TextSymbolizer

[Paul Spencer]

Tim,

(I think this is more of a mapserver question ... but I am not sure)

is there anyway you can send us a simple test case that should work? 
Assefa did the SLD implementation in MapServer so I've cc'd him for his 
opinion.

Cheers,

Paul
