  from type sld:SymbolType
  sld:Name [0..1]    
  sld:Description [0..1]     A "Description" gives human-readable descriptive information for the object it is included within.
  sld:BaseSymbol [0..1]     A "BaseSymbol" defines the default properties of a symbol to be those of an external symbol, which will frequently be inside of an OGC symbol(izer) repository. The symbol properties given in-line override the base-symbol properties.
  1. sld:Geometry [0..1]     A Geometry gives reference to a (the) geometry property of a feature to be used for rendering.
  2. sld:Label [0..1]     A "Label" specifies the textual content to be rendered.
  3. sld:Font [0..1]     A "Font" element specifies the text font to use. The allowed SvgParameters are: "font-family", "font-style", "font-weight", and "font-size".
  4. sld:LabelPlacement [0..1]     The "LabelPlacement" specifies where and how a text label should be rendered relative to a geometry. The present mechanism is poorly aligned with CSS/SVG.
  5. sld:Halo [0..1]     A "Halo" fills an extended area outside the glyphs of a rendered text label to make the label easier to read over a background.
