I think an SLD is best as well. You can do most of what you suggested
with a creative SLD. Including what Mark wanted. By using multiple
rules it is possible to have a different rule apply to each layer...
If that is what you want. Having a single SLD on the Map's Blackboard
means there is a single place to look for it which I like.

Fair enough, I was hoping that the existing style would be drawn on top,
so the effect would be of an outline around the existing SLD mark, or
linework et c.
I think selection and highlighting styles must always be drawn on top
of or instead of the normal style. Other wise you run the risk of users
not noticing them.
