[Geoserver-devel] Grouping labeling option not a boolean?

Is there any specific reason that the grouping labeling option is yes/no, instead of true/false?

See http://docs.geoserver.org/latest/en/user/styling/sld-reference/labeling.html#grouping-features-group

All the others are true/false, which makes it easier for us to do nice checkboxes in the GUI’s for styling we make. Seems like it’d be good to be consistent, though I’m curious if there was any good reason for it, or it just ended up that way.

You should ask Dave Blasby, as far as I remember he's the one that
implemented that option :-p
I'd vote for "happened that way". Make it work with "true"/"false" as well
(but also yes/no)
should be trivial, if it does not work already
