[mapserver-users] KML output 6.4.2

[Jeff McKenna]

Great, keep us all in the loop with how it goes.

You'll find that using the WFS outputformat for KML/KMZ works very well, 
as it is passed through the OGR driver; I'm not aware of many using WMS 
for KML/KMZ output.  But yes, I imagine if you travel down that path you 
may eventually hit my same issue from 2011 :)
