[Xastir] Xastir & Google Earth

Hi All

This may of been asked before.
Is there any future plans to include a KML server with xastir to enable
output to the new
Google Earth Beta4. I currently run xastir 1.8.3 (devel edition) and it
would be nice for xastir to
do all the hard work then let google earth do the displaying.
I must admit that normal line maps within xastir look better than google
earth maps when viewing the
whole of Europe, but it would be nice to click on a callsign and zoom
into street level.
I do have a java application which simulates a kml server and dumps the
info in google-earth but it would be
nice to get xastir to connect direct to google earth, then maybe all the
configuration of what is viewed can be
achieved within xastir.

Best Regards
