     11Brian McClendon, from Google, has indicated that he would like to see an industrial quality standalone C++ GML SDK that could be used by other companies wanting to work with KML.  Desirable things for such an SDK would include:
     12 
     13 * Standalone with no dependencies on OGR.  Possibly not even on CPL though that might be inconvenient in the GDAL context.
     14 * Use a safe XML parser like Expat rather than an unsafe (security wise) one like Xerces or make the xml parser easily pluggable.
     15 * Support the whole KML feature model, even stuff not of use for OGR.
     16 * Support all versions of KML.
     17
     18The OGR driver would then presumably be built on the standalone SDK.  This is similar to how the GML driver is structured since it was originally implemented for use in a non-OGR environment.
