GML in KML

This makes for an ideal partnership between GML and KML. GML is not about geographic visualization, but about geographic content description. Where KML is “place centric”, GML is “feature centric”. Where KML deals with the presentation of geographic things, GML seeks only to describe them in formal terms, quite apart from their presentation. Of course this means that it is natural to talk about styling GML data, meaning to apply interpretation rules, in order to generate a KML visualization.
