Ok, while this works for feature attributes it does still not give me the
the "global" name and description attributes of my kml document as a whole
as well as those attributes inside the folder definition but those are
actually the ones I am interested in.

My kml looks like this (roughly):
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<kml xmlns="http://www.opengis.net/kml/2.2" ...
<Document>
        <name>Name of KML Document</name>
        <Folder>
                <name>Folder Name</name>
                 <description>Folder description</name>

                 ... features come here
                
        </Folder>
</Document>
</kml>

So the question is how to access these attributes from javascript.

Sven
