[OpenLayers-Users] KML versions?

[Barend Köbben]

Hi,

Is there any documentation about what flavours of KML are supported in the
vector type layers for OpenLayers? I have been experimenting with
OpenLayers.Layer.Vector, using protocol: OpenLayers.Protocol.HTTP and
format: OpenLayers.Format.KML.

But I find that there are many KML versions and ways of setting up a KML.
E.g. KML created by QGIS always works fine, but ArcMAP exports as KML
works sometimes, mostly not. Most curiously, not even "Save Place as" KML
from Google Earth (KMLs native habitat, I'd have thought) not even always
work...?
