client-side SLD support in ArcMap

I would like to see support for client side SLDs (with WMS-services) in ArcMap. until now (including beta2) only server side SLDs are supported (in layer properties for an WMS (sub-)layer, at the tab "styles".
An option "custom" that would change the URL textbox in this dialog to a read/write state could possible do the trick.

For ArcGIS Server 9.3 some fine samples of the use of a external SLD are shown at:
http://webhelp.esri.com/arcgisserver/9.3/java/index.htm#wms_sld_samples.htm#polygon_overlaps

For on of the samples I made a version with a client side SLD
The original is at:
http://sampleserver1.arcgisonline.com/ArcGIS/services/Specialty/ESRI_StatesCitiesRivers_USA/MapServer/WMSServer?VERSION=1.3.0&REQUEST=GetMap&CRS=CRS:84&BBOX=-178.217598,18.924782,-66.969271,71.406235&WIDTH=765&HEIGHT=360&LAYERS=0,0&STYLES=,overlaps&EXCEPTIONS=application/vnd.ogc.se_xml&FORMAT=image/png&BGCOLOR=0xFFFFFF&TRANSPARENT=TRUE&SLD=http://sampleserver1.arcgisonline.com/arcgis/wms/slds/polygon_overlaps.xml

My adjusted version (with a SLD at my own site is at:
http://sampleserver1.arcgisonline.com/ArcGIS/services/Specialty/ESRI_StatesCitiesRivers_USA/MapServer/WMSServer?VERSION=1.3.0&REQUEST=GetMap&CRS=CRS:84&BBOX=-178.217598,18.924782,-66.969271,71.406235&WIDTH=765&HEIGHT=360&LAYERS=0,0&STYLES=,overlaps&EXCEPTIONS=application/vnd.ogc.se_xml&FORMAT=image/png&BGCOLOR=0xFFFFFF&TRANSPARENT=TRUE&SLD=http://geo.sohosted.com/sld/polygon_overlaps.xml

That will be a nice feature to have, but currently it's not planned for ArcGIS 10.
