The OGC provides the SLD and SE specs for how to apply styles to web requests and how to style maps in xml, respectively.

As Mapnik still has a number of features to add in the realm raster symbolization, the syntax for Mapnik's XML should attempt to match or mirror, wherever possible, the OGC SE (Symbol Encoding) Spec.

The PDF spec is attached, but can be downloaded from:

http://www.opengeospatial.org/standards/symbol

and the [http://schemas.opengis.net/se/1.1.0/ XML Schema] is pasted here inline for 1.1.0.
