p.s. one thing I REALLY would like -- because of how much it
confuses casual users -- is the ability to control whether the
time slider is ON or not, from a KML feed when it's launched.
Maybe it's in networklinkcontrol in the next KML ver ...
You could submit a Change Request to OGC for that type of capability
in the KML. Though that's becoming *quite* UI specific for a data
format. The time slider only shows up when datasets exist that have
time in them.
The 'TBOX' parameter idea could also be an OGC change request. It
would be more valuable to have this available in any browser
implementing OGC KML, rather just Google implementing it in the Google
extension namespace.

There is already a mechanism for just this - called OpenSearch-Time. I
know OpenSearch-Geo is in the process of OGC and OASIS acceptance. Time
should be just as straight-forward and provides a discoverable mechanism
and interface definition that a service provides "TBOX" as has been
referred to here.
A processing or analytics template would be interesting - kind of a
lightweight WPS (Web Processing Service) definition. And just like the
<AdultContent/> flag in OpenSearch, could have a
<RequiredCertificationLevel /> element that verifies against your OpenID
provider. ;)
