Will probably do the geocoding with annotations format that's been discussed
on this list. Like your tag-like solution though. Very simple.

Nice. We had to change the .pl extension of the file to work properly but 
then saw everything smoothly with Google Earth.

Have you thought about producing not KML but pure RSS as output? That is, 
the same RSS that you receive, but with lat and lon attached.

We have created a geotagging site last week, Tagzania, 
http://www.tagzania.com . The pages displayed offer both outputs: RSS with 
geographic data (following the model described here: 
http://brainoff.com/worldkit/doc/rss.php ) and the KML file.

No BBC Backstage integration work done on the site yet, but we are thinking 
about possibilities.
