Ugh. Requiring complicated combinations of bit fields strikes me as being pretty error prone.

What about providing a string parameter which can supply the various options in a human-readable format?
E.g. "extrude=1 tesselate=0 altitudeMode=clampToGround"

Easy to read, easy to parse, easy to extend...

I have some aesthetic concerns with how you are passing arguments, I wonder if there is a more elegant way do to it. I feel like requiring a precision argument in order to do the other options would be preferable to the "size of precision" hack to distinguish between options and precision. Others may disagree.

Add the possibility to customize KML code produced by PostGIS with altitude mode (altitudeMode), allow lines and paths to follow the terrain (tessellate), and how to connect primitive to the ground (extrude).
