by "modified" I would guess that it means it just throws away anything
out of that range, or sets it to the nearest -180,180 edge, not
reprojecting it.

probably required. if so probably update the v.out.ogr help page and
perhaps add something like this in the code:

 if( G_strcasecmp(frmt_opt->answer, "KML") == 0  && 
     G_projection != PROJECTION_LL )
   G_fatal_error(_("KML format requires lat/lon data"));

or if you really wanted you could have it try to reproject to WGS84 LL
in the program instead of giving that fatal error.
