[Geowanking] questions for the Google Maps Team?

[pamela fox]

Hey David-

I hadn't thought of that; I suppose it would be a possibility. Do you
have an enterprise sales rep? I would advise making the feature
request in terms of that suggestion.

Note: It could be that the Enterprise Earth team is already working on
it -- I've just told you what I know of the free API's functionality.

On the GGeoXML, I guess I don't understand why the server side parsing capability can't be included in the Enterprise distribution, for running on our own servers.  Does it simply depend too much on internal services unique to the Google infrastructure?  (it doesn't _seem_ like it would)  is it a concern about licensing or someone competing on the public internet?  Surely that'd be addressable via licensing, or simply sell it only to closed-network-only environments ...
