Pull requests are usually fine. I just made a bunch of changes before seeing this so it'll take me a little bit to work thru the merge. But please continue!

Can you elaborate on GeoServer's "shield" support? I think we might be meaning two different things:

In Carto and Cascadenik, they're using Mapnik's built in support to have an arbitrary text field inside of an otherwise static marker.

I don't see a similar feature in GeoServer. Can you point me towards the documentations, please?

In GeoServer SLD we support Graphic elements as a child of TextSymbolizer elements. If present, such a graphic will be positioned behind the label regardless of where the label is actually rendered (due to conflict resolution, etc.) and hidden if the label is hidden. Optionally, the graphic is also stretched to ensure that the label fits within it. I think this is similar to how shield graphics behave in Mapnik, right?

There are some screenshots and SLD examples in Andrea Aime's talk from FOSS4G 2010: http://2010.foss4g.org/presentations_show.php?id=3588 . I don't think the GeoServer user manual has caught up yet.
