That approach worked perfectly! Thanks Steve, Plus, if you access the layer in question through a service (wms getfeatureinfo) then you have a makeshift (standards non-compliant?) KML web service.
I noticed on the template side that [shpclass] gives an index. Not a problem, my style IDs are hard wired anyway. I was wondering what mechanisms are available to use this index (what does it access) in the template context?
