Hi all,

I'm wondering if anyone would be opposed to a small tweak in how raster
layer output is handled for KML output.

Right now for raster layers the Folder name and GroundOverlay name are
identical, "workspace:layername".

Semantically speaking this is a little odd, since Folder is a higher level,
hierarchical container; it doesn't make much sense for a parent and its
children to have the same name.

For vector layers this structure is a little different: the folder is named
after the layer, but the individual placemarks are named after the feature
itself.

I propose changing the raster layer KML output to be a Folder named after
the workspace and the GroundOverlay named after the layer. This would be
more in line with the meaning of these elements in KML, plus eliminate the
identical names.

Anyone have any thoughts? Is this likely to break people's workflows?

Cheers,
Devon
