Thanks Mark,

It's good to know it's not just me!
I usually just assume I am being a bit dim.

I have been unable to get the label displacement working as well.  My 
SLD validates and I spent ages trying all sorts of different things 
without luck. I didn't follow the problem up with GeoTools (I think it's

a problem in their basic renderer) because I stopped using labels
anyway.

Not very helpful... just letting you know that it's not just you!
