[OpenLayers-Users] KML files - gx:Track custom data

Hello,
I'm using KML files to show the track with some waypoints.
 
I would like to display the custom data elements from gx:Track.
 
According to the KML specification (http://code.google.com/apis/kml/documentation/kmlreference.html#gxtrack), the KML custom data should be something like this:
<gx:Track id="ID">
  <!-- specific to Track -->
  <altitudeMode>clampToGround</altitudeMode>  
      <!-- kml:altitudeModeEnum: clampToGround, relativeToGround, or absolute -->
      <!-- or, substitute gx:altitudeMode: clampToSeaFloor, relativeToSeaFloor -->
  <when>...</when>                         <!-- kml:dateTime -->
  <gx:coord>...</gx:coord>                 <!-- string -->
  <gx:angles>...</gx:angles>               <!-- string -->
  <Model>...</Model>
  <ExtendedData>
    <SchemaData schemaUrl="anyURI">
      <gx:SimpleArrayData kml:name="string">
        <gx:value>...</gx:value>            <!-- string -->
      </gx:SimpleArrayData>
    <SchemaData>
  </ExtendedData>
</gx:Track>

 
I took a look at the OpenLayers examples with gx:Track and at the Changeset 10633 (http://trac.osgeo.org/openlayers/changeset/10633), and 'speed' is simply added in gx:track. (Does this follow the KML reference?)
 
Also, I've noticed that OL offers support for ExtendedData of Placemark.
 
Is it possible to access ExtendedData from gx:Track?
 
Thank you!
