Indeed it would be nice just to have an
official schema for KML.
Like this?
http://code.google.com/apis/kml/schema/kml21.xsd
;) But I don't know if you meaning something more than that.
Oh, they did finally release it. Didn't realize they had. Of course I
always want more, and want the GeometryTypes aligned with GML (since
they are very few differences between them and GML 2.1.2). But that
could be KML 2.2 or 3.0 or some such. Thanks for the pointer.
