Thanks for the thought Martin, it makes a lot of sense to do so - but=20
won't help me w/ my
current deadline.  Just thought I should report back that my ideas on=20
how to support
multiple versions are not worth thinking about until Java 5 is around.

Note: the simple idea w/ just using javadocs will still work. For=20
GeoTools we are doing:
- TextSymbolizer - normal SLD 1.0 api (containing both GeoTools and=20
GeoAPI method names)
- TextSymbolizer2 - experimental GeoTools stuff (such as SLD 1.1 ideas,=20
or TextSymbolizer2.getGraphic() )

StyleFactory and StyleFactory2 are used tell the two apart (StyleBuilder=20
will take a StyleFactory, and is used by such
things as parsing code).
