Hi Damian,

Seems like a good idea to me.

Basically we could come up with two more templates, perhaps named 
"header.ftl" and "footer.ftl" or something like that. ACtually we 
already have the same for GetFeatureInfo templates. Perhaps it could be 
adapted to KML output.

Regardless it should not be too hard to implement. If you are interested 
I can point you in the right direction code wise. That or create a new 
feature request in the bug tracker.
