Right. The OpenLayers KML code hsa never supported 'all' (or even
'most') of any KML spec. KML is big. OpenLayers is a 2D geodata viewing
library. There is a lot that OpenLayers has no need to support, and a
significant amount of stuff that although it would make sense to
support, we don't.

That includes a number of 2.2 features, and a number of 2.1 features.
Since 2.2 is not backwards incompatible with 2.1, there isn't any change
in what OpenLayers supports in 2.2 docs, as far as I know.

It may, but that example doesn't do popups. The only KML example in
OpenLayers which does popups is the sundials.html example.
