I'm not sure if this is exactly what you're asking, but I'm pretty sure
if you make an sld file with the same name as your shapefile, and a
.sld suffic, and place it in the same dir as your shapefile, udig will
render it completely.  They just don't have the editing down yet, but
they do the rendering.

What would be very helpful is for you to start a wiki page tutorial on
SLD, summarizing what you've found, and what you continue to find.  I
started a crappy one here:
http://docs.codehaus.org/display/GEOS/SLD+Intro you can throw it out
(and justin/brent it should probably be ported to geosdoc).  But you're
an ideal person to write the intro, since you're learning it now, and
can let others know what you have trouble with, what helped you to
understand.
