It is a nice format to work with, well supported and with more features than GPX. All the work I have done with the international borders of Norway, have been based around KML, for a number of reasons (the two most important, being the ability to assign colors to markers and a good client to visualize the data in). In addition, I have had a hard time finding anything in Google Earth terms that limits tracing, as opposed to Google Maps where this is stated very clearly. - Gustav
