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 :)
