He's probably referring to the Google Earth mark-up language:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Keyhole_Markup_Language
http://code.google.com/apis/kml/documentation/

(Why K for "Keyhole"?  Well, because that is the product that google 
bought to make Google earth.)

I suppose it could be useful to have an OSG application read these 
directly but I've always sort of seen it as an interchange format for 
dealing with Google Earth, ie: you had something else and turned it into 
KML.  Seems to me that the "something else" is what you'd want to bring 
into OSG.  Of course, I know of at least a few places that are actually 
developing geospatial content in KML.  So it happens.  <shrug>  And is 
probably off-topic anyway.
