Description

As I wrote in #238, I am using the ShieldSymbolizer for hiking symbols. These normally don't need any text displayed, so I would like to be able to not set "name" and "face_name" and "size" (which all apply to the text part of the symbolizer). Mapnik currently seems to expect these no matter what. ("fill" might also belong into the list above, I'm not sure.)

As Ldp points out in IRC, it would be more logical to add the spacing and min_distance parameters to the PointSymbolizer instead (which would then be used with placement="line").

FYI, #320 has some code that start logically making symbolizer arguments optional.
