KML driver rev20, <description> tag content fools parser

Reported by: darkblueB Owned by: Didge
Priority: normal Milestone: 1.5.0
Component: OGR_SF Version: svn-trunk
Severity: normal Keywords: kml
Cc: warmerdam, Mateusz Łoskot

Description

in the KML spec, the content of a <description> tag can be a subset of HTML, using things like <br/>..

When parsing, the KML driver does not understand that it is within a <description> tag, tries to understand the markup as KML tags, and rejects the KML as invalid.

KML 2.1 only requires CDATA blocks for hyperlinks or images in the <description> content.

I added support for descriptions like that. But tags like <br/> are changed to <br></br>.
