Hey Oliver,
At the moment the kml encoder will only encode feature attributes "name"
and "description". The rationale being those are the only attributes we can
map directly to whats support in kml.
Hopwever, kml 2.2 added support for "schema data", and the ability to
attach extra attributes. At the moment the kml module only supports parsing
kml that has these attributes, it won't encode feature attributes as schema
data. But it would be a great to have that so feel free to open a feature
request in jira. Or better yet work on a patch for it if you are keen :)
