Hi Steve,
RE: the ability to specify the initial LookAt stuff in an output KML
file, I'm told that the current writer can't do it (but I could imagine
writing an END_TCL that could inject it later, but it's a bit of a
hack).
However, for FME 2007 we are making some significant changes to the KML
writer and as part of that, this functionality will be added. I'll make
sure you get notified when there's a beta that does this. Should be
soonish.
