 Generating KML of the Sheboygan parcels layer results in KML which
 resembles the following:

 {{{
 <LinearRing>
 <coordinates>
 -87.728935, 43.747964, 0.000000,
 -87.728934, 43.748081, 0.000000,
 -87.728159, 43.748827, 0.000000,
 -87.728144, 43.748841, 0.000000,
 }}}

 KML spec states: Four or more tuples, each consisting of floating point
 values for longitude, latitude, and altitude. The altitude component is
 optional. '''Do not include spaces within a tuple.''' The last coordinate
 must be the same as the first coordinate. Coordinates are expressed in
 decimal degrees only.

 XYZ values should not have a space trailing commas and coordinates should
 not be separated by commas. This behaves correctly in Google Earth but
 fails in other KML parsing libraries.
