KML Driver - Documentation needed

Reported by: darkblueB Assigned to: mloskot
Priority: normal Milestone: 1.5.0
Component: OGR_SF Version: svn-trunk
Severity: normal Keywords: kml
Cc: Didge, warmerdam, condit

Description

the HTML page that comes with the KML Driver, drv_kml.html is untouched since the previous KML driver.

Since the real scope and use of the KML driver is still developing, at least an accurate description of what it does now is needed, with an appropriate caveat

http://trac.osgeo.org/gdal/wiki/KML

This is in addition to the Driver release notes of (??)

http://www.gdal.org/ogr/drv_kml.html

The goal is to make clear to users what can be expected of the KML output. (I am not attached to any document naming scheme in particular)
