I think adding new formats like KML would be great to justify a 0.2 release.

I first thought it would be a good idea, to only allow GeoJSON as input
for .features(). Then you would transform other formats to GeoJSON. But
the problem with KML is, that is supports more things than GeoJSON does.
So perhaps we should do it in the way we've discussed it at the code
sprint in Denver.

You have something like:

layer.feature({
  type: 'KML',
  feature: the_kml
})
