SLD Description

Original Redmine Issue: 6973
Affected QGIS version: 1.8.0

When exporting a style, QGIS does so with a "Description" that is basically the layer name, thus:

    <se:Rule>
      <se:Name>Boulders</se:Name>
      <se:Description>Boulders</se:Description>
      <ogc:Filter>

I believe this is invalid.
(a) It fails the GeoServer validation with error:
Element 'Description' cannot have character [children], because the type's content type is element-only

Which is consistent with:
(b) SLD spec examples show that description as:
se:Description
se:NameGS1</se:Name>
se:TitleGeoSym</se:Title>
</se:Description>
So Description itself probably shouldn't have the description text but should contain elements.

It was already fixed in master branch many months ago. Unfortunately there will be no QGIS 1.8.1,so you have to wait until 2.0 is released or use the development version.
